Our meeting has received two documents from the Fellowship of Friends of African Descent (FoFAD), the founders of the Ujima Friends Peace Center in North Philadelphia:  a cover letter, and their Minute on State Sanctioned Violence. The Ad Hoc Committee strongly endorses these ideas, which are full of heart and deeply grounded in Quaker Spirit. We share this with our Chestnut Hill meeting community for our thoughtful consideration. We trust that we can find ways to support this effort.
