172 | 14 It's been somebody outside the local meeting and outside the |
15 local structure to whomone can go to talk things | |

17 don't feel you're imposing on them. | |

172 | 32 It almost validated, I suppose, things that we |

172 | 43 I have felt a slight reticence among some Friends about asking |
44 her to come to our meeting and do things,but I think now | |

46 were very keen for us to have her for our retreat this year. | |

172 | 49 She has been very involved in getting more integration into |
50 the meeting and gettingpeople really thinking in terms of | |
51 it being a group of Friends,whose interests are | |

172 | 55 Well, she was always very constructive in her |
56 suggestions.No doubt, she observed what we were doing | |
57 wrong, but the way she handled it was tosuggest things | |
58 that we might do differently or do better. | |

172 | 68 She acts as a bridge and that is preciselywhat she's been doing. She's not overly involved,in the sense of taking control over matters, but just lets us breathe ourselves andoffers us those opportunities develop our own ideas in our own particular way, butthat contact with other Friends has been very, very valuable indeed |
