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

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