Interfaith Peace-Builders

Interfaith Peace-Builders

"Building on a long history of delegation work in the Middle East, the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) began Interfaith Peace-Builders in 2000 as a response to the intensified violence of the second intifada. Since that time IFPB has consulted and worked in partnership with Palestinian and Israeli organizations. We stand in support with Palestinians and Israelis striving to end the occupation of Palestine, working to ensure the human rights of both Israelis and Palestinians, and advocating an enduring peace with justice for both peoples.

"In April 2006, FOR and Interfaith Peace-Builders reached the mutual decision that IFPB would become an independent program working in partnership with FOR, starting July 1, 2006."

"Interfaith Peace-Builders was founded in 2001 and became an independent organization in 2006."
