The Church Peace Union was founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1914 and still exist today under the name, The Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. You can read about the organization in Wikipedia. Here is an excerpt from the article:
The Carnegie Council was founded in 1914 by Andrew Carnegie in New York City. Carnegie gathered together numerous religious leaders, scientists and politicians, and appointed them trustees of a new organization, the Church Peace Union (CPU). Carnegie hoped to create, with the religious and secular leaders, a new moral leadership to prevent armed conflict.
The organization is well known for the prominent people it engages to speak at its meetings. Irving Fisher was one such person. You can read about this prominent economist at Wikipedia, an article that also includes his photo, copied below.
