23 <title>Background and Introduction: The remit of the Working Group</title> 23 <title>Background and introduction: The remit of the working group</title>
24 <p>In August and October of 2008, South East Scotland Area Meeting
25 "considered the history and prospects for the Quaker Meeting House at 7
26 Victoria Terrace". The end result was the creation of a "short-life working
27 group", requested to report back to Area Meeting in June 2009. The group
28 consists of the Friends named above, convened by Henry S. Thompson. Further
29 details on the history and remit of the group can be found in Appendix A to this report.</p>
30 <p>The group has taken as its fundamental goal to gather as much information
31 as possible to assist Area Meeting in clarifying its vision for the future
32 Quaker presence and witness in Central Edinburgh, the part 7 Victoria Terrace
33 might play in that future, and the costs and benefits of alternative ways
34 forward in this regard.</p>
35 <p>This report has three main sections, organised chronologically, covering
36 the history of the Quaker ownership of 7 Victoria Terrace, its current
37 situation, and a range of possibilities for the future. These are preceded by
38 a brief 'executive summary' of our work and its conclusions, and followed by a
39 collection of background material.</p>
40 <p>Although in the end it is our judgement that some options make more sense
41 going forward than others, we have <emph>not</emph> felt that it was our place
42 to make any overall recommendations. We feel strongly that it is for Area
43 Meeting, gathered in Meeting for Worship for Business, to discern the right way
44 forward.</p>

48 <p>The working group met a total of twelve times throughout the first five
49 months of 2009. We invited a number of people to join us to share their particular
50 perspectives on the matter, solicited information from a number of different
51 constituencies via questionnaires and held two open meetings for Friends and
52 attenders to share with us their answers to the question "What is your vision for the Quaker presence and witness in
53 Central Edinburgh for the <emph>next</emph> 20 years."</p>
