Collection Overview

- Clergy and Laymen Concerned (CALC) was organized in December 1965 by a group of New York clergymen as a response to the Vietnam War. Several months later a national organization began to emerge with full time staff persons. CALC operated in an ad hoc way for the next five years, hoping the reason for its formation would end.
- Beginning in 1970, CALC expanded its concern to broader questions of foreign policy, although the war in Indochina remained its primary focus. In addition, CALC began to play a stronger role in domestic issues raised by African-Americans, women, and other minority groups. Also a more structured organization developed composed of a national committee and staff, along with local committees and field staff.
