Anglican Pacifist Fellowship
- Anglican Pacifist Fellowship
The Anglican Pacifist Fellowship (APF) is a body of people within the Anglican Communion who reject war as a means of solving international disputes, and believe that peace and justice should be sought through non-violent means [ [http://ns1.c10hosting.net/~anglican/index.php/1/home Anglican Pacifist Fellowship website.] ] .
It was established in 1937, and now has some 1,400 members in over 40 countries, as well as a sister organisation, the Episcopal Peace Fellowship, in the United States of America.
The APF founded the Week of Prayer for World Peace, and continue to have close ties with it.
It is a member of the Network of Christian Peace Organisations and of the International Peace Bureau.
It publishes a newsletter "The Anglican Peacemaker", which is available online [ [http://ns1.c10hosting.net/~anglican/index.php/5/newsletter "The Anglican peacemaker"] ] .
