*Sustainability*

We agreed Terms of Reference for a new Meeting for Sufferings
Sustainability Monitoring Group to be "responsible for monitoring the
Yearly Meeting’s commitment to Sustainability".

*Post-truth world*

In response to a concern about this matter from Southern Marches Area
Meeting, MfS had asked for input from Area Meetings, which was patchy
and equivocal: not so much that this was a problem, and one that
concerns us, but more that we have neither the capacity nor the
insight necessary to intervene as a Society.  A very useful list of
organisations who _are_ active in relevant ways was included as an
appendix to the item.

Gandi: "Truthfulness is even more important that peacefulness.  Indeed
lying is the mother of violence".

it's even harder to do on social media, where the response may well be
both many-fold and obnoxious.

We agreed
