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>
