Meeting for Sufferings round-up - preview
Our vision for the future
Meeting for Sufferings was unusual in that it met for two days – and much of the business centred around envisioning the future of Sufferings itself, now that it no longer has a trustee function Part of the weekend was spent in Home Groups, and many of the visions arose from Friends' discussions in the first of these – some of which were later shared in open worship
One Friend felt that we should be spending less time on protest marches, and that it was really global warming that we should be addressing This struck a chord with other Friends, one of whom noted: 'Come 2040 the Mediterranean will be so hot that it will be unsustainable Huge population movements will be heading towards northern Europe Would we be able to talk to them? Will we be able to embrace “the other”?'
