Thompson</div><div class="byline"> 5 September 2015</div></div><div class="body"><div><h2>1.  Introduction</h2><p>Henry Thompson was present, representing SE Scotland on
Sufferings for the first time at a normal working meeting.</p></div><div><h2>2.  Selected highlights</h2><div><h4>2.1.  09 03 "Our faith in the future"</h4><p>The draft from the Long Term Framework Working Group was presented and
discussed.  This single-page draft,  which focusses on <i>how</i> we go
forward, rather that on <i>what</i> we will do, has no <i>dates</i>
associated, unlike the existing A Framework for Action, which it replaces. 
These changes are worth noting, and is to some extent in my view a recognition
that the very <i>idea</i> of Long Term Frameworks has been effectively rethought.</p><p>Some parts of A Framework for Action will continue to be
useful/relevant, but we weren't given sight of an additional document which is
expected to detail these.</p></div><div><h4>2.2.  09 05 Minutes received 1, North Wales: Quaker Credit Union</h4><p>A national Quaker initiative to facilitate the creation of AM-level
Credit Unions?  We endorsed in principle, with NWAM encouraged to produce a
detailed/costed proposal.</p></div><div><h4>2.3.  09 05 Minutes received 2, Southern Marches: Memorial to Innocent
Victims of War</h4><p>A proposal to add a memorial to the National Memorial Arboretum, close
by the recently erected one for the FAU/FRS one, has been well-received by the
curators there.  Despite some continuing concerns about the phrase "innocent victims", we
encouraged SMAM to take this forward.</p></div><div><h4>2.4.  09 07
The Church: Towards a Common Vision</h4><p>Quaker Committee for Christian and Interfaith Relationships (QCCIR)
presented a re-draft of our proposed response to the World Council of Churches
consultation paper with the above title.  In the spirit of <a href="http://old.quaker.org.uk/sites/default/files/To-Lima-With-Love.pdf">To Lima with
Love</a> ([Quaker] Committee on Christian Relations, 1987), it is an
excellent statement of our understanding of what it means to be a Church.  It's
accompanied by a study guide.  I'll let Friends know when these are available
in their final form.</p></div><div><h4>2.5.  09 08 Vibrancy</h4><p>Woodbrooke and YM Trustees will shortly review and most likely approve
a pilot scheme, involving new staff specifically hired and locally situated in
four or five 'regions', to enable our meetings to become vibrant.</p></div><div><h4>2.6.  09 09a Statement on refugee crisis</h4><p>A draft public statement on the refugee crisis was presented, and judged
to be insufficiently robust.  By the time of this report, a revised version
will presumably have been widely circulated.</p></div></div><div><h2>3.  Other business</h2><p>Reports from YM Trustees, QPS&amp;W Central Committee were received and
briefly reviewed, and various procedural/structural bits of official business
were taken care of.</p></div></div></body></html>
