June Query

Query:
  • Are our Meetings for Business held in the spirit of a Meeting for Worship in which we seek divine guidance for our actions in love and mutual forbearance?
  • How well do our Meetings for Business lead to a corporate search for and revelation of God's truth?
  • As difficult problems arise, are we careful to meet them in a spirit of love and humility with minds open for creative solutions?
  • Do we avoid pressure of time, neither unnecessarily prolonging or unduly curtailing full discussion?
  • Do we recognize that the search for unity may require us to accept with good grace a decision of the Meeting with which we are not entirely in agreement?
  • Are younger Friends, new members, and attenders given appropriate responsibility in the Meeting?
