|---|---|
| 1 *Location of children at AAM* | |
| 2 Central placement of the table makes a worshipful gathering harder | |
| 3 for the adults | |
| 4 No complaint wrt CC trying this, but now it's been raised, we should | |
| 5 consider it. | |
| 6 Motivation was making it possible for a wheelchair user to get to the | |
| 7 table. | |
| 8 2) It is Elders' role to care for the holding of MfW, and we should | |
| 9 share our feelings about this and look for an alternative | |
| 10 resolution. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 2) There's a more general issue here, which is that when things | |
| 13 overlap with our responsibilities, it would be helpful to involve | |
| 14 us in the discussion. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 *Action* Margaret to speak with Madeleine Harding _qua_ Convenor of | |
| 17 Childrens C'tee about the above two points. | |
| 18 | |
| 19 *World Quaker Day* | |
| 20 We have some unease about the whole idea. Being up there with World | |
| 21 Lawn Bowls day... | |
| 22 There is in any case an apparent overlap as to days with the | |
| 23 invitation for people to bring a child/newcomer with them. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 We agree not to do anything. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 *Action* Gareth to speak to Marilyn Higgins _qua_ member of the | |
| 28 Clerking Team to convey the above. | |
| 29 | |
| 30 *Secpnd half of the RESTORE programme* | |
| 31 Zoe has offered to do this on request. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 *Action* HST to ask Zoe to suggest a date, early November, same timing | |
| 34 as last time, i.e. after lunch. | |
| 35 | |
| 36 *State of Meeting* | |
| 37 David shared incidents lately when reading from the Bible resulted in | |
| 38 pushback. There's an asymmetry of tolerance: tolerance for | |
| 39 disinterest in or even dislike for traditional Christian | |
| 40 language/belief is required of us, but intolerance of these is common. | |
| 41 | |
| 42 How do we foreground that we are the _religious_ Society of Friends | |
| 43 in a way that is encouraging of respect, without feeling like being | |
| 44 accusing or sounding like special pleading... | |
| 45 | |
| 46 Individually we are feeling a bit lost spiritually ourselves, and a | |
| 47 lack of spiritual witness in the Meeting. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 There's also a lack of channels for service, to the community and to | |
| 50 the Meeting. | |
| 51 | |
| 52 Possible things to do: Someone from Woodbrooke, getting house groups | |
| 53 going. |
