|
28 * Diversity, a.k.a. _Undoing Racism_, not just as a national

|
|
|
46 programme. EAPPI UK/Ireland is a joint project of church partners,
|
|
|
47 implemented by QPSW" The situation is dire, under constant review,
|
|
|
48 with careful risk management processes. "The problems [EAAPI] are
|
|
|
49 having is a sign that it's successful."

51 Refugees: Legacy funding for one-year post from December, to
|
|
|
52 identify appropriate national-level work that is best _for us_.
|
|
|
53 Liaison with Quaker Asylum and Refugee Network (QARN). Some actual
|
|
|
54 actions, maybe, but mostly planning/reporting.

56 Living out our faith (call for equality): Q3 - how Meeting for
|
|
|
57 Sufferings balances and prioritises different parts of the work we are
|
|
|
58 called to do.
|
|
|
59
|
|
|
60 Diversity -- equal to what? What counts as enough (young people,
|
|
|
61 asian/black/... people)
|
|
|
62
|
|
|
63 "[We] can't do fine detail with a broad brush"
|
|
|
64
|
|
|
65 We should admit that we don't, and can't, do prioritisation
|
|
|
66
|
|
|
67 "'How come the Methodists can respond to things so much more quickly
|
|
|
68 than we can'"
|
|
|
69
|
|
|
70 Should we only commit central effort to things which are _not_
|
|
|
71 alreadly well addressed elsewhere, which _are_ pretty much uniquely
|
|
|
72 _Quaker_ either in nature or in response?

79 GM Scotland minute raises important issues -- Truth and integrity the
|
|
|
80 key point. The fact that this funding for the introduction of cadet
|
|
|
81 forces bypasses Scottish oversight of education in Scotland is
|
|
|
82 particularly concerning (and may come as news to AM as it did to me),
|
|
|
83 because it means that there's no straightforward way to ask the
|
|
|
84 Scottish government/parliament for equal time, as it were.
