Faith, Hope & Love Christian Writers, an online group for Christian writers of romance and romantic women’s fiction, was first established in July 1996 (and incorporated in February 1997) as an RWA special interest chapter. In 2021, the members of FHLCW chose to disaffiliate from RWA and become an independent writers’ organization
