The Piedmont Friends Fellowship evolved from a quarterly meeting of NC Yearly Meeting-FUM held in the fall of 1968 at Quaker Lake Conference Center.  The quarterly meeting clerk, Claude Shotts of Chapel Hill Monthly Meeting, suggested that the particular needs of unprogrammed meetings in this region might better be met by a separate organization.  Among several concerns, it was clear that the (FUM) yearly meeting was unable to consider a Friends' response to the continued prosecution of the war in Vietnam.  John Hunter from Durham Meeting was asked to organize such a meeting.
