I've been a Friend now for over thirty years, so perhaps it's okay for me to speak my mind a bit on something.
The NEYM New England Friend came in several weeks ago, with much of if focusing on what didn't get done at NEYM Sessions in August. Seems the whole piece on the FUM Personnel Policy, after what, two years of seeking "clarity," on how to move foreword, ended up producing nothing more than another committee? That's right, another committee to look at yet another piece of business that we didn't get finalized.
Come to think of it, I'm a little hard pressed to remember the last time that New England Quakers actually made a clear, definitive decision on any major piece of business or concern before them. seems we're very good at holding this or that "concern" up to the Light for prayer, consideration or action, but not very good at saying "Yea" or "Nay" and then moving on. Just my thoughts, that's all. Your comments are appreciated, too!
Kevin
