On June 29, 2014 Charlotte Friends Meeting  approved support of the following minute from Piedmont Friends Fellowship Representative Body: “The Piedmont Friends Fellowship supports the principle of separation of church and state as presented in the lawsuit brought by the United Church of Christ against the State of North Carolina.  We note that in Western culture in general and specifically in the United States and North Carolina, the solemnization of marriage has been historically considered to be a function of religious communities.  Quakers have a 360 year history of independently conducting marriages, and we are concerned with the intrusion into this practice by the recent legal requirements in North Carolina that place restrictions against freely doing so.  We are concerned that current North Carolina law is unconstitutional in that it makes law breakers of priests, ministers, pastors, and others who as a matter religious principle wish to solemnize and support marriages in accordance with the accepted practices of their denominations.”

Charlotte Friends Meeting has participated in Piedmont Friends Fellowship (PFF) since 1969.
