Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College For current information on the location of materials, please consult the Libraries' online catalog: http://tripod.brynmawr.edu The Friends Peace Committee (FPC) of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting was formed in 1933 by the merger of similar committees that had been established in 1892 by the Race Street Yearly Meeting (Hicksite) and in 1916 by the Arch Street Yearly Meeting (Orthodox) in Philadelphia. Since 1933, the committee has undergone a series of structural changes, perhaps most strikingly under the direction of Executive Secretary George Hardin from 1949-1973. There are a number of different subcommittees under the Friends Peace Committee that work on different facets of peacekeeping, including international issues, the role of the military in schools and society, and effecting legislative change. SHORT HISTORY OF THE COMMITTEE

The Friends Peace Committee (FPC) of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting was formed in 1933 by the merger of similar committees that had been established in 1892 by the Race Street Yearly Meeting (Hicksite) and in 1916 by the Arch Street Yearly Meeting (Orthodox) in Philadelphia. The records in this collection include those of the predecessor committees, official and unofficial, as well as those of the FPC itself.

In 1892, a Peace Section was formed as a subcommittee of the Committee on Philanthropic Labor of PYM (Hicksite). Work for Peace and Arbitration was carried out under the direction of Arabella Carter, who was known as the Peace Superintendent. In 1916, an autonomous Emergency Peace Committee was appointed to "work in closest harmony with the like committee appointed by Arch Street." Jesse H. Holmes was appointed Chairman, with Arabella Carter continuing as Peace Superintendent. The name of this Committee changed several times, to the Committee on Peace and Emergency Service in 1917, and to the Committee on Peace and Service in 1920. Members published and distributed literature, engaged in other educational work, and supported a Swarthmore College Peace Caravan team sent out by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC).

The Philadelphia Peace Association of Friends (PPAF) was an unofficial body formed in 1891 by members of PYM (Orthodox). Samuel Morris and John B. Garrett served as Presidents for most of the period from 1891 to 1916. Members printed and distributed peace literature, arranged lectures and educational programs, and corresponded with legislators and world leaders.

When the Yearly Meeting (Orthodox) formally established a Peace Committee under the Chairmanship of John B. Garrett in 1916, the PPAF ceased to be active. Anne Garrett Walton served as Executive Secretary. She was succeeded by William Wickersham and, beginning in 1923, by Richard R. Wood.

After the merger of the two peace committees in 1933, the joint organization was called the Friends Peace Committee, first of Philadelphia and Vicinity and subsequently of the Philadelphia Yearly Meetings. It was funded by appropriation from both Yearly Meetings and by contributions from individual Friends. In 1955, after the reunification of Philadelphia Yearly Meetings, FPC was placed under the direct oversight of PYM and its Representative Meeting.

Richard R. Wood assumed the position of Executive Secretary of the Friends Peace Committee of Philadelphia and Vicinity in 1933, after serving in that capacity for the Peace Committee of PYM (Orthodox). In 1949, George C. Hardin was hired as Executive Secretary. George R. Lakey took over for him on an interim basis, during the former's leave of absence from 1963 to 1965. Hardin retired in 1973.

In 1974, PYM was restructured, placing FPC within the Coordinating Committee for Testimonies and Concerns, Section II (CCII). In an effort to increase efficiency and to consolidate the many activities of PYM, CCII had been appointed to oversee social programs and committees under its care, and reported in turn to PYM and its Representative Meeting. The position of Executive Secretary of FPC was eliminated, and a staff coordinator was appointed to handle administrative tasks. In 1981, PYM's budget cutbacks forced CCII to assume administrative duties for FPC, so that staff could continue to maintain essential programs.

Into the 1980's and 1990's, the FPC continued to grow and change. New subcommittees were formed to focus on such issues as peace in the Middle East and the presence of the military in schools.

The Records of Friends Peace Committee were received in a number of accessions from several sources. In 1938, scattered minutes of the Committee on Peace and Service, then the Peace Section of the Committee on Philanthropic Labor, were received from PYM (Hicksite) Offices at 1515 Cherry Street. Included in it were records of the joint Friends Peace Committee from 1933 to about 1935 as well as the Treasurer's Ledger and a few records of the Philadelphia Peace Association of Friends. Most of the Orthodox records had been deposited in the YM Archives at 304 Arch Street and were transferred to FHL in the mid 1970's. Additional papers of the Joint Committee were deposited in 1954, and those of the FPC several times in the 1970's, including the files of George Hardin. Fire partially destroyed files and literature in the FPC Offices on May 23, 1962; so much original FPC material dating from the late 1950's and early 1960's is missing. The records of Bruce Birchard and Tom Conrad were received in 1985, covering the period from 1973-1984.

Subcommittees and Program Records of Richard Wood, Executive Secretary 1932-1951

In its first fifteen years, the FPC was largely known for lobbying and for testifying before various bodies. Richard Wood, the Executive Director, was an authority in international relations, was Chairman of the National Peace Conference for three years, and was Associate Consultant to the U.S. Delegation at the San Francisco Conference in 1945 at which the UN was started. Within FPC, Wood divided his time between the sub-committees, maintained correspondence, and spoke and published articles on peace issues. During this period, the standing Subcommittees included the Executive, Legislative, Peace Education (later, General Education), Field, Pacifist Principles, and the Committee for the Speakers Bureau on International Affairs.

No Film No Film Series 7. Executive Subcommittee and Executive Secretary, General: George Hardin, Executive Secretary 1949-1973

During the tenure of George Hardin, the FPC became an action-oriented peace organization with the increasing involvement of staff in determining the policy and direction of FPC. In 1949, there were eight outstanding sub-committees of the full Friends Peace Committee (Joint), including the Executive Committee. This was changed in the 1955-63 period, when the full Committee met only three times a year, and there were up to 21 working groups, including standing committees, shorter range committees, and working parties, coordinated through the Executive Board. The larger standing committees were laid down. This short-term experiment in structural change was the result of continuing attempts to make the FPC more flexible and to encourage member participation while at the same time attempting to retain some measure of control by the Executive Secretary and the full Committee over their corporate actions. Subsequent efforts to revise the structure of the FPC reflected a need for greater program coherence.

The Subcommittee underwent several name changes - Action in 1949, to Policy by 1952, to Policy and Legislation in the early '70's. Historically, it had a double role. On one hand, the Subcommittee informed FPC members and other Friends of impending legislation by issuing statements and action bulletins. On the other, it acted as a watchdog over the policies and procedures of FPC and PYM.

After 1973, the records for the Policy and Legislation Subcommittee are found in Series 22.

FPC began nonviolent action training during the late 1950's in various parts of the South. After forming several working parties to consider the various aspects of non-violence, the FPC helped to develop a special course to prepare individuals for participation in the Poor Peoples Campaign in 1968. This was so successful, that the new Subcommittee for Non-violent Direct Action (NVDA) decided to continue to offer a training program in the use of nonviolence.

Working Party on Nonviolence 1956-61 1 folder Box 55 SW U

Originally formed under the direction of the Pacifist Principles Committee to undertake a specific study of nonviolence and to write a report, "A Perspective on Non-Violence," which was published in 1957.

Mostly the files of Suzanne Day who worked part-time for PYM for 15 years, from 1988 to 2003; on the War Tax Concerns Support Committee (now re-named Conscience, Militarism, and War Tax Concerns Working Group). She oversaw the Yearly Meeting's brief for the U.S. Supreme Court when Priscilla Adams appealed there for accommodation of religious conscientious objectors who refuse tax payment for wars. She also organized lobbying trips to Washington in support of the Peace Tax Fund bill. Her position was folded into the full-time work of the Peace and Justice Coordinator.

In 1973, FPC adopted PYM member George Lakey's proposal to undertake a program on the B-1 Bomber and Peace Conversion. Lakey was also a member of the Task Force for a 3-year nationwide Peace Conversion Campaign organized initially by the American Friends Service Committee and Clergy and Laity Concerned (CALC). He recommended that the FPC take responsibility for organizing the Delaware Valley. Bruce Birchard joined the Subcommittee full time in late 1974, and George Lakey continued to be involved on a 3/5 basis (until 1976). In 1975, FPC approved a continuing program in military spending and peace conversion. After the cancellation of the B-1 in 1977, the focus of the Subcommittee shifted to Disarmament, to deal with an increase in military spending and the escalating nuclear arms race; in 1980, its name was changed to Disarmament and Conversion. In the spring of 1982, Representative Meeting approved a special 6-month peace project. The so-called Pennsylvania Campaign for a Nuclear Weapons Freeze (PCNWF) coordinated pro-disarmament activities including the June 12/14 Rally and non-violent sit-ins scheduled to coincide with the Second UN Special Session on Disarmament in New York City. The PCNWF worked for Freeze Referenda and for pro Freeze candidates in the November 1982 elections. In December of that year, sponsorship of PCNWF was assumed by the Pennsylvania Council of Churches according to plan.

No Film No Film Series 26: Legislative Letter Writing Campaign 1989-1998

The Legislative Letter Writing Campaign was initiated at the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting as a project of the Friends Peace Committee in 1989. It was a coordinated effort between the Friends Peace Committee, the monthly meetings of PYM, and the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) to correspond with members of Congress and the President on national issues pertinent to Friends. Over the course of the campaign, many thousands of communications were sent, written at more than 50 Philadelphia Yearly meetinghouses, as well as some in New York and Baltimore. The Friends Peace Committee and the FCNL sent focus issues sheets each month to the monthly meetings, which contained sample messages and background information on possible letter topics chosen. Many monthly meetings would then hold letter monthly writing sessions.

Miles Day and Mary Flounders-Arnett were very active staff involved with Legislative Letter Writing Campaign. The project was laid down in 1998 as a Friends Peace Committee initiative, although letter writing continues. The FCNL now distributes monthly e-mail updates identifying legislative issues of concern to Friends and offering background information helpful to individuals who want to contact their congressional representatives.

Friendly Presence was organized at the time of the Black Panther Party convention in Philadelphia in 1970; members were trained in nonviolent response to conflict situations. Following the police blockade of MOVE in the spring of 1978, the group asked Yearly Meeting to be further empowered to organize a set of initiatives regarding the impasse. Their proposals included a vigil outside of the blockade and consultation with community groups.

No Film No Film Series 28: Peace in the Media 1992-95

The Peace in the Media (PIM) working group of the Friends Peace Committee held its first meeting on April 13, 1992, under the name of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Media Working Group. The group shared the services of the Peace Committee staff and volunteers, and held an office in the Section on Testimonies and Concerns of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. PIM’s goal was to present alternative resources and experts on peace to the overwhelmingly pro-military mainstream media. It sought to do this by collecting and disseminating press kits and resumes of peace experts to the major news networks. They called this major project "In Plain View.” The "Profiles of Peace in the Media Consultants” section of this series contains correspondence and background profiles of the peace experts that the PIM group contacted and used for this project. The Peace in the Media Working Group initially focused on changing the media presentations of the Middle East and arms issues, but over time they increased the number of issues they wished to influence to include Haiti, covert action by the government, and the conflicts in the Balkans, among others. Charles Kelly served as the clerk of the Peace in the Media group, and the Testimonies and Concerns section of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting laid it down in 1995.

The Waging Peace Project, a project of aid to Middle Eastern children and families, was founded in 1991 as a branch of the Middle East Working Group. In the proposal for the project, it was described as "a way to acknowledge our responsibility for people suffering from the effects of recent military operations in the Gulf.” A TV video spot for fundraising, on going educational aid, and exchanges between the U.S. and Iraq were among the major programs members of Waging Peace developed. Another significant project was the funding of Iraqi children to come to the United States for medical care. Jennifer Isaacs and Mary Arnett coordinated a newsletter on the project, and Mary Arnett and Tom Truitt were responsible for the overall coordination of Waging Peace. In 1994, preparations were began to lay down Waging Peace, and in 1996 its account balance of $4.333.33 was forwarded to the Middle East Council of Churches to buy medical supplies to present to the Iraqi Red Crescent.

The Middle East Working Group began in 1988 under the name of the Working Group on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. On June 23 of that year, the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting issued a statement on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that declared a position favoring an end to violence on all sides. To enable friends to be more active and informed on the issues involved in the Middle East, the Working Group on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict worked to distribute relevant, balanced information. It published an informational newsletter titled “Over the Face of the Earth: Sketch maps of the Middle East for Friends Trying to Walk Cheerfully” written by Mary Flounders-Arnett.

In 1990, the members of the group decided to change its name to the Middle East Working Group, due to its expanded interests to other areas besides Israel and Palestine, especially after the United States became involved in the conflict in the Gulf. The Middle East Working Group hosted a conference in 1992 titled “The Winter Conference – Peace in the Gulf?” and prepared lists of curriculum materials for educators who wished to present unbiased presentations of the Middle East. The group also “nurtured the leadings of individual PYM members who were led to testify for peace in the Arab-Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” participated in the worldwide campaign to end sanctions on Iraq, and maintained support for the Waging Peace Project, a project of aid for middle eastern children and families (see Series 29 of the Friends Peace Committee). Anna Kennedy served as clerk for the Middle East Working Group until 1992, and the group was laid down by the Testimonies and Concerns section in September of 1993.
