The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship has a history of being an entirely volunteer-driven organization. Now, with Rick's service as a full-time, executive director, we are clear that his job is not to "do the work" of the Fellowship, but to recruit and support an ever-growing cadre of volunteers who are passionate about their commitment to nonviolent witness and action.

To that end, we have begun a "speakers bureau" to provide information about some of our members who have unique experience and are available to share information about their work with others in churches, on campuses and in sister organizations. All of those listed here as resources would be pleased to work with you to develop an educational event or worship service that will work well
for your community.
