The American Friends Service Committee

The American Friends Service Committe (AFSC) is a Quaker organization that seeks to promote social justice, peace and humanitarian service around the world. AFSC's work is based on the Quaker belief in the worth of every person and faith in the power of love to overcome violence and injustice. AFSC's mission and achievements won worldwide recognition in 1947 when it accepted the Nobel Peace Prize with the the British Friends Service Council on behalf of all Quakers. To learn more about AFSC, visit their website at www.afsc.org

Congress Invests in Peace

The ability of the United States to help prevent and resolve conflicts was stengthened when Congress recently included legislation to create a civilian response corps in the 2009 military authorization bill. This civilian corps could be sent to crisis-torn areas to help countries provide basic services to their people and support humanitarian efforts. The Friends Committee of National Legislation (the Quaker peace and justice lobby in Washington, DC) has been lobbying for this civilian response corps as a way for the U.S. to respond to crises without using our military.

Welcome to the Crossville Friends (Quakers) website

In the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), people from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs come together on a spiritual journey. Although our individual beliefs may vary, Quakers share a common understanding of a Divine presence in all people. We seek to live our lives in accord with God's in-dwelling presence. All spiritual seekers are welcome to attend our Meeting for Worship when we gather together at 10AM on Sunday at our Meetinghouse in Crossville. We also welcome interested people to just drop in and join us after Meeting for Worship at 11AM for coffee when you can join us in casual conversation and get to know us better (to find us, click on "DIRECTIONS" above).
