Graham Dawson read this month’s query from the 2017 PYM Faith and Practice.
Nurturing Our Community: Care for the Meeting
Do we help each other to live with integrity and contribute that integrity to the life of our meeting?
How does our meeting learn of members’ needs and offer its assistance?
How does our meeting nurture members in all stages of life?
How does our meeting welcome those new to Friends and integrate them into our community?
When a member’s conduct or manner of living gives cause for concern, how does the meeting respond?
Am I ready both to offer and to accept meeting assistance when needed?
Do I treat adults and children alike with respect and without condescension?
What opportunities have I taken to know, work and worship with Friends in the larger spiritual communities we share?
