+*Location of children at AAM*
+ Central placement of the table makes a worshipful gathering harder
+   for the adults
+ No complaint wrt CC trying this, but now it's been raised, we should
+ consider it.
+ Motivation was making it possible for a wheelchair user to get to the
+  table.  
+ 2) It is Elders' role to care for the holding of MfW, and we should
+    share our feelings about this and look for an alternative
+    resolution.
+
+ 2) There's a more general issue here, which is that when things
+    overlap with our responsibilities, it would be helpful to involve
+    us in the discussion.
+
+ *Action* Margaret to speak with Madeleine Harding _qua_ Convenor of
+Childrens C'tee about the above two points.
+
+*World Quaker Day*
+ We have some unease about the whole idea.  Being up there with World
+Lawn Bowls day...
+ There is in any case an apparent overlap as to days with the
+ invitation for people to bring a child/newcomer with them.
+
+ We agree not to do anything.
+
+ *Action* Gareth to speak to Marilyn Higgins _qua_ member of the
+ Clerking Team to convey the above.
+
+*Secpnd half of the RESTORE programme*
+ Zoe has offered to do this on request. 
+
+ *Action* HST to ask Zoe to suggest a date, early November, same timing
+  as last time, i.e. after lunch.
+
+*State of Meeting*
+ David shared incidents lately when reading from the Bible resulted in
+ pushback.  There's an asymmetry of tolerance:  tolerance for
+ disinterest in or even dislike for traditional Christian
+ language/belief is required of us, but intolerance of these is common.
+
+ How do we foreground that we are the _religious_ Society of Friends
+ in a way that is encouraging of respect, without feeling like being
+ accusing or sounding like special pleading...
+
+ Individually we are feeling a bit lost spiritually ourselves, and a
+ lack of spiritual witness in the Meeting.
+
+ There's also a lack of channels for service, to the community and to
+ the Meeting.
+
+ Possible things to do: Someone from Woodbrooke, getting house groups
+ going.

+
+*Matters Arising*
+ - Location of children at AAM
+   Tables have been moved to the side
+   Round table would be preferred, MM will take this forward with the
+    Silvia Marshall fund
+
+ - RESTORE
+   HST to check the the Hall is available on the 27th
+   Not blended but online for listening/watching?  HST to ask Zoe
+   Go with option 2, see my email
+
+*House/study groups*
+ HST to pester Pip for syllabus
+ HST to give MM info about the Pendle Hill _Exploring the Quaker Way_
+ Gareth Rae MfLs on Swarthmore Lecture book:  Tom Shakespear on _Hope_
+ MM to ask SMF for a starter 
+ HST to ask for time/day starting in 2nd week of January
+
+*Memorial meetings*
+ Should LMs be responsible for memorial meetings, or should it be an
+ AM matter?  AM Elders?  Probably -- we might be able to cope in CE,
+ but smaller mmeetings shouldn't have to bear that weight.
