SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS
In order to provide insight into the scope and outreach
of the AFSC, a representative list of programs undertaken
by the Committee in its first forty-five years is provided
below. This is a summary list and makes no effort to detail
many individual programs that have been undertaken, espe-
cially in the Committee's regional offices. It does, however,
illustrate the long-standing policy of the AFSC to pick up
and lay down program as needs shift or work is devolved on
others. Responsibility for these decisions rests ultimately
with the board of directors, but the process is facilitated by
the work of a representative Program Priorities Committee,
and by the periodic reviews and evaluations of regional
office committees and national program division committees.
Further information on all current programs may be
obtained at any AFSC office. In addition, a number of books
have been written about the Committee that illuminate
earlier periods of its history. Among these are: A Service of
Love in Wartime* by Rufus M. Jones, (New York, 1920);
For More Than Bread by Clarence E. Pickett (Boston,
1953); and The Quaker Star Under Seven Flags by John
Forbes (Philadelphia, 1961).
The list of programs, classified to reflect current AFSC
organization, and including approximate starting and termi-
nation dates, follows. Programs current!) ac.ive are in bold-
face type.
