The mission of the Episcopal Peace Fellowship is to Do Justice, Dismantle Violence and Strive to be Peace Makers.
The Episcopal Peace Fellowship – Maine Chapter is a small but committed group of peace-minded believers. The Episcopal Peace Fellowship is a national membership organization connecting all who seek a deliberate response to injustice and violence and who want to pray, study, and take action for justice and peace in our communities and our churches and the world. It began as the Episcopal Pacifist Fellowship on November 11, 1939, Armistice Day. The Episcopal Peace Fellowship aids and encourages all Episcopalians to strive for justice and peace and to bear nonviolent witness to Christ’s call to peace.
In recent years we have accomplished and are continuing to focus on the following:
We invite you to join the Episcopal Peace Fellowship-Maine Chapter in extending peacemaking resources to all the clergy and laity of the diocese. To learn more about us, contact Episcopal Peace Fellowship – Maine Chapter co-conveners Glenis Elliot or Colleen Stevens.
Identify one or more people to represent your parish to act as Peace Contacts with the Diocese. We want their ideas and participation. And we will provide them with information for your parish about upcoming events and initiatives. Please provide the names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of your Peace Contact(s) to Glenis Elliot or Colleen Stevens.
Invite us to your parish to speak to your congregation about upcoming events, to lead an adult forum or to conduct a peacemaking workshop. To schedule a visit by an Episcopal Peace Fellowship member, contact Glenis Elliot, Co-Convener or Colleen Stevens, Co-Convener.
We look forward to working with you and welcome your ideas about additional ways to advance the peace of Christ throughout our Diocese, our nation and our world.
We encourage each parish in the Diocese of Maine to join in National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend June 3-5 to show our support for prevention of gun violence.
