Our Mission:
Quaker House is a manifestation of the Friends’ Peace Testimony. Based in Fayetteville, NC, home of Fort Liberty, Quaker House provides counseling and support to service members who are questioning their role in the military; educates them, their families, and the public about military issues; and advocates for a more peaceful world.
Tell It Slant
Noted author, historian, and Haverford College professor emerita Emma Lapsansky-Werner has written a biography of former Quaker House Executive Chuck Fager. This detailed 569 page book explores the long and fascinating life of someone who has spent his life on the front lines of advocacy and seeking a better world. Quaker House is proud to offer a copy of Tell It Slant to anyone who donates $100 or more. If you are interested, simply go to the Donate page above and make sure to put Tell It Slant in the comment section.
