Quaker Welcome Center
Located across the street from the U.S. Senate, the Quaker Welcome Center is a place for dialogue and the promotion of peace, justice, and environmental sustainability.
Reflecting on the 25th anniversary of 9/11
On September 12, 2001, FCNL asserted that “war is not the answer.” As our nation marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we object to the reactionary forces which has locked our world into a cycle of vengeance. Instead we want to uplift reflections, stories, and the people who refused to accept the march to war.
The milestone of 25 years provides us with an opportunity to collectively observe a tragedy that struck so many people, as well as engage a generation of Americans who do not have a memory of 9/11 and rely on the stories we tell.
