M. Scott Peck’s Founding Dream

There is a yearning in the heart for peace. Because of the wounds


and rejections we have received in past relationships, we are
frightened by the risk of disarming ourselves. In our fear, we
discount the dream of authentic community as merely visionary.

But there are rules by which people can come back together, and
by which the old wounds can be healed. It is the mission of FCE
to teach these rules-to make hope real again-to make the vision
actually manifest in a world which has almost forgotten the glory
of what it means to be human.
