Brian Blackmore with Friends in Des Moines. AFSC/Jon Kreig
Quaker action for a just world: A conversation between Friends and AFSC
The American Friends Service Committee is working to create, strengthen and nurture our relationships with Monthly and Yearly Meetings and Churches. In our work through Quaker engagement, we hope to connect with Friends intentionally and share opportunities to engage with our work to build peace around the globe.
AFSC's Director of Quaker Engagement, Brian Blackmore, is traveling throughout the Western United States and Ainsley Bruton, AFSC's Quaker Engagement Coordinator, is visiting communities in the Philadelphia area. During their visits, Brian and Ainsley will engage with Quaker Meetings and share the work carried out through AFSC's programs across the world.
