  Fellowship of Reconciliation, Propagandist & Agitator for the New World Order
When the Fellowship was founded in 1915, its initial activity was directed toward opposing the entry of the United States into World War I. Out of the Fellowship's conscientious objectors program, there developed, in 1916, the National Civil Liberties Bureau which was reorganized in 1920 as the American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU).
Then, in 1962, the Fellowship established Turn Toward Peace, an "umbrella organizationof national peace, labor, public affairs and religious groups." Through TTP, scores of leftist organizations were coordinated on a national level, ostensibly to promote "peaceful non-violence", but in reality their activities agitated and propagandized for world communism.
It must be remarked that despite the Fellowship's flowery protestations of idealism and assumed mantle of religiosity, its entire history since 1915 to the present has demonstrated a remarkable consistency in its repeated sympathizing with tyrannical and anti-religious regimes.
