+BoDRC interim report
+
+Still mostly foundation-laying
+
+Seven themes emerging
+– Spirituality, worship and discernment
+– individually and collectively with God 
+• Quaker community – life in our meetings 
+• Testimony and faith in action – in the world 
+• Stages of personal life journeys and close relationships 
+• Church government – how we organise ourselves 
+• Our story – where we have come from and where we are going 
+• Advices & Queries
+
+5 key insights:
+
+1. We can all have direct access to God/Spirit/ the Divine. This
+   experience / encounter /relationship can transform us.
+
+2. We live under guidance from God/Spirit/ the Light/ the promptings
+   of love and truth in our hearts
+
+3. We recognise and seek to address that of God in each human being –
+   each of us is unique and precious
+
+4. There is a dynamic Spirit bringing continuing revelation
+
+5. We hold the whole of life sacramental and so we do not divide the
+   sacred and the secular
