|
|
|
14 identifying and helping those who lack either the skills or the
|
|
|
15 hardware to participate?

45 happy to pick up separartely if useful. 07eharding@gmail.com It was
|
|
|
46 held at Liverpool meeting, so their elders might be worth reaching

52 Some problems:
|
|
|
53 "It's difficult to reach out to new people"
|
|
|
54 A few people have pushed back on the concept as unQuakerly...
|
|
|
55 Technology and/or financial issues exclude some people
|
|
|
56 One eldering problem has arisen, resulting in lack of unity on the
|
|
|
57 value of the online meetings...
|
|
|
58 Where no AM, an LM that chose not to meet leaves the members who
|
|
|
59 would like to out in the cold
