12 <title>Introduction</title>
|
|
|
13 <p>Henry Thompson and Kate Arnot were present, representing SE Scotland on
|
|
|
14 Sufferings for the first time. As many of those in the room were new, the
|
|
|
15 morning's sessions were devoted to introducing Meeting for Sufferings: its
|
|
|
16 history, its
|
|
|
17 work, its procedures, its place in the overall structure of BYM.</p>
|
|
|
18 <p>We were reminded that Suffering is once again, harking back to its
|
|
|
19 origins in the 1670s, responsible for recording the names and situations of any
|
|
|
20 Friend in court or in prison for conscience's sake.</p>
|
|
|
21 <note>Have an occasional meeting with the QL, QPSW and MfS representatives from AM?</note>
|
|
|
22 <p>Paul Parker offered the insight that MfS are the only part of BYM who
|
|
|
23 have, on a regular and ongoing basis, an overview of <emph>all</emph> the
|
|
|
24 activities of and within BYM, centrally and locally, internally and externally.</p>
