Bill Cane, Founder of IF and Editor-In-Chief of Integrities  bcane@baymoon.com
In 1975 Bill Cane and a group of friends got together to create a not-for-profit corporation called IF. Bill had been a parish priest, then director of a Center for the Deaf in San Francisco. He was also director of the Cursillo Movement and for six years a professor at Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley.

His books include Through Crisis to Freedom (1980), Circles of Hope (1992) and Passing on the Spirit (2002). He served as executive director of IF from 1975 to 2009, and was editor of the quarterly Integrities from 1985 until 2021.

Under his direction IF worked to open out life-giving alternatives and to stand with the poor and the oppressed. Bill opposed the Vietnam War, traveled to Central America to support the movements of the poor there, and was part of the Sanctuary Movement here which protected refugees from El Salvador and Guatemala.
