Fact-Finding and Friendship Delegations to Iran

[OneBlueSky]

Join F.O.R.’s Historic First Delegation to Iran
December, 2005

The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) is pleased to announce the official launch of the Iran initiative, a project seeking alternatives to the current political standoff between the U.S. and Iranian governments.

As part of this initiative, FOR, in partnership with Peace Action and the Muslim Peace Fellowship, is planning a series of peace missions to reaffirm friendship and solidarity between the people of the United States and the people of Iran.

The first group of prominent American religious leaders, academics, and peace activists - including the Fellowship of Reconciliation’s Executive Director Pat Clark- will travel to Iran in December 2005.

These delegations will allow a diverse and representative group of Americans to see firsthand the realities of life in today’s Iran. At the same time, they will allow a range of ordinary Iranians to encounter citizens of the United States as we really are, beyond the stereotypes that define many views of the West.

Your participation will provide you with the opportunity to experience the rich and ancient history of Persian culture and art, meet with members of Iranian civil society, and get a feel for the current climate in Iran. And it will allow Iranians to get to know you.
