Thompson</div><div class="byline"> 4 Jul 2015</div></div><div class="body"><div><h2>1.  Introduction</h2><p>Henry Thompson and Kate Arnot were present, representing SE Scotland on
+Sufferings for the first time.  As many of those in the room were new, the
+morning's sessions were devoted to introducing Meeting for Sufferings: its
+history, its
+work, its procedures, its place in the overall structure of BYM.</p><p>We were reminded that Suffering is once again, harking back to its
+origins in the 1670s, responsible for recording the names and situations of any
+Friend in court or in prison for conscience's sake.</p><p>Paul Parker offered the insight that MfS are the only part of BYM who
+have, on a regular and ongoing basis, an overview of <i>all</i> the
+activities of and within BYM, centrally and locally, internally and externally.</p><p>The words "visionary and prophetic" recurred, from many different people
+throughout the morning, as the core role of MfS.</p></div><div><h2>2.  Actual business</h2><p>We received minutes from Yearly Meeting 2015, particularly <a href="http://www.quaker.org.uk/sites/default/files/YM-2015-Minutes.doc">Minute 36</a>, now being referred to as the "Call for Equality".</p><p>Paula Harvey, Friends House, is contact point for information about an
+(invitation-only) threshing event at Woodbrooke in September to explore actions
+in progress or contemplated with respect to BYM engagement with the problem of
+housing, led by Quaker Housing Trust.</p><p>Refugees/migrants/Mediterranean -- QCEA have an Alert Network, which you
+can <link xmlns="" xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">join online</link> to receive information about how you can help with
+actions they are recommending.</p></div></div></body></html>
