Quaker Business Method at Meeting for Sufferings?
The report of Meeting for Sufferings in the Friend (12 June) included consideration of the proposed climate change public statement
  • We read that when Meetings were asked whether they wanted Britain Yearly Meeting to make a public statement of commitment to sustainable living; of the 179 responses received all but three gave their support
  • Examples were given of the enthusiastic responses but there was no mention of what the other three had to say
  • Moreover, there was no indication that Meeting for Sufferings heard and considered those three responses
  • I hope they did because otherwise those Friends who likened the recent trend to canvas opinion through questionnaires to be a form of voting will have been proved correct
