Peace and Social Concerns

Peace and Social Concerns Committee is part of the way our Meeting implements the Peace Testimony and other Testimonies of Friends.   We seek to inform ourselves and the Meeting of events, especially local events, that help to work for peace and justice and to encourage participation.  We work to provide action opportunities for ourselves and the Meeting.   We join with other local groups, including the Cincinnati Peace Churches group, Intercommunity Justice and Peace Center, and others to support each other's peace and justice work.  We have a ministry of providing dinners to Tender Mercies homeless shelter and volunteer time to the FreeStore Foodbank.   

"Our principle is, and our practices have always been, to seek peace, and ensue it, and to follow after righteousness and the knowledge of God, seeking the good and welfare, and doing that which tends to the peace of all...All bloody principles and practices we do utterly deny, with all outward wars, and strife, and fightings with outward weapons, for any end, or under any pretence whatsoever..."  George Fox
