Friends Committee on Unity with Nature (FCUN) grew out of the Workshop on Living in Harmony with the Natural Environment at the FGC Gathering at Oberlin in 1987. In 2001, sixteen North American yearly meetings appointed representatives to its Annual Meeting. In 2003, their name was changed to Quaker Earthcare Witness. Quaker Earthcare Witness’s records are held in the Friends Historical Library, as is their regular publication, Befriending Creation.
QIF is a Quaker think tank whose mission is ‘advance a global future of inclusion, social and economic justice, and ecological well being through participatory research and discernment’. Researchers can find QIF’s publications in the Friends Historical Library just by searching in Tripod with ‘Quaker Institute for the Future’ as the creator.
EQAT, in their own words, ‘is a grassroots, nonviolent action group including Quakers and people of diverse beliefs, who join with millions of people around the world fighting for a just and sustainable economy’. Founded in 2009 from the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, EQAT takes direct nonviolent action to address issues of economic inequality and climate justice. EQAT materials can be found in the papers of Phyllis B. Taylor and Richard K. Taylor, also co-founders of Witness for Peace. EQAT’s website is archived and available.
