i ec one
& mimeorraphed copy of the "Minutes of the Renresenta-
tive Council, f#*SC,. January 1655" sets forth the relationship
of the AFSC to the religtous Society of Friends as follows:
"The Service Cownittee is a grouv of concerned
Friends and other like-minded persons who seek to put
into action fundamental Christian testimonies of the
socicty of Friends. It is not a committee of any
Yearly Neeting or all Yearly Meetings. It is only one
of the channels through Which FPricndés! concerns are
exoressed. it seeks to be alert to the concerns of
Meetings aes well as individuals, but it does net
presume to be en organ of such Meetings. It should
make clear and oublic pronouncements that it sverks
only for itself." some 4
Goncerning the above~ noted item, {9 advised that
the reason fér the ebove stetement is due té the fact that
some dicsensicn seems to heve arisen among various Yearly
Meetings concerning the *FSC. A” number of the Yearly Meetings
feel that the general public regards the “FSC as one of the
officiel organs of the religious Society of Friends and the
actions of AFSC as actions of all Friends. The informant stated
that this.,is not the fact and thet ‘the /FSC does not speak for
all Yeurly Meetings, but, in fact, each Yeerly Meeting sveaks
for itsclf. fccording to the informant , the 4FSC wishes,
through the above stetenent, to make it clear that it is not
acting on behalf of all the Yearly Meetings end, in fact, eny
Yearly Meeting, and thet its policies and actions are entir ely
its own.
