WHO IS THE AFSC? Many Persons, Many Backgrounds Aid Work

Promptly at 9 o'clock each Monday morning silence falls on a Friends meeting house in central Philadelphia. Some 100 persons sit for a few min- utes in Quaker quietness which seems to push back the sounds of a busy city. They are assembled in the his- toric, modest structure behind the high brick walls and iron fence for their weekly staff meeting.
