| 9 [Juliet, could you please forward this to Margaret Bryan and Anne | |
| 10 Ullathorne, I can't immediately find email addresses for them. Thanks] | |
| 11 | |
| 12 1) I haven't checked ever possible document, but looking at this year's | |
| 13 draft Annual Report for Sufferings, I was reminded of Jocelyn Bell | |
| 14 Burnell's challenge to us back in December of last year, to consider | |
| 15 whether our approach to reports from central committees was working | |
| 16 well. MFS/16/12/20 refers: | |
| 17 | |
| 18 We have heard of the positive relationship which has been developed | |
| 19 between QLCC and BYM Trustees and have been challenged to consider how | |
| 20 we as Meeting for Sufferings can work more effectively with QLCC. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 We recognise that this is an area that needs more work and ask our | |
| 23 Arrangements Group to do some initial thinking on this, liaising with | |
| 24 QLCC as appropriate, and to report back to us. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 I note that in the follow-up mailing to that meeting, the minutes of | |
| 27 MfSAG for 2016-12-12 acknowledges this | |
| 28 | |
| 29 We noted our minute 2016.12.40 about Quaker Life Central Committee | |
| 30 (QLCC) in which MfSAG is asked to do some initial thinking on the ways | |
| 31 in which MfS can work more effectively with QLCC and will return to | |
| 32 this in due course. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 But I can't find any sign that this has happened, or any mention in the | |
| 35 most recent MfSAG minutes that we plan to -- have I missed something? | |
| 36 | |
| 37 2) In the Trustee's Minutes of 21 September (MfS 2017 12 13b, item | |
| 38 BYMT-2017-09-08) I see | |
| 39 | |
| 40 We feel that the time may be right to look at the purpose Yearly | |
| 41 Meeting in the life of the Society of Friends, including whether | |
| 42 different formats may be appropriate in future. | |
| 43 | |
| 44 and a little further on | |
| 45 | |
| 46 We agree that Ingrid Greenhow should prepare a paper and that she | |
| 47 should represent us at [YMAC of 28 October]. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 Was this with reference to that earlier point? | |
| 50 | |
| 51 In any case, could we hear a bit more about this issue? If feels like | |
| 52 something we should be involved with. | |
| 53 | |
| 54 Thanks, | |
