"The FOR has been in the forefront of the nonviolent struggle for peace with justice.

What is important about the FOR is what it stands for.

And that is a courageous dedication to the liberation of humanity from the triple evils of poverty, racism, and violence."

--Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Fellowship of Reconciliation

Both the Minnesota FOR and Hamline University Students FOR Peace are local chapters of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the largest, oldest interfaith peace and justice organization in the United States and the world. The FOR is an international, spirituality-based network of people committed to active non-violence as a means of personal, social, and political change. For over eight decades the FOR has worked against racism, militarism, war, and injustice, seeking a just and peaceful world community, with full dignity and freedom for every human being.

Our Vision: The FOR envisions a world of justice, peace, and freedom. It is a revolutionary vision of a beloved community where differences are respected, conflicts are addressed nonviolently, oppressive structures are dismantled, and where people live in harmony with the earth, nurtured by diverse spiritual traditions that foster compassion, solidarity, and reconciliation.
