FCE's Mission Statement
FCE encourages people, in a fragmented world, to discover new and better ways of being together. Living, learning, and teaching the principles of community, FCE serves as a catalyst for individuals, groups, and organizations to:

- Communicate with authenticity
- Relate with love and respect
- Deal with difficult issues
- Seek, honor and affirm diversity
- Bridge differences with integrity
- Practice forgiveness for ourselves and others
FCE's approach encourages tolerance of ambiguity, the experience of discovery, and the tension between holding on and letting go. We acknowledge our human frailties, take responsibiliy for our actions and make amends where possible. In our work to empower others, we remember our reliance upon a Spirit within and beyond ourselves.
