‘We are developing different ways of looking after each other.’

by Alastair Reid 4th February 2022

General Meeting for Scotland (GMS) held its first blended Meeting on 20 November, at Edinburgh Meeting House (and across all of Scotland, online). GMS meets quarterly, and comprises four constituent Area Meetings (made up of thirty-three Local Meetings).Sixty-nine Friends attended. Edinburgh Meeting House has new audiovisual equipment, which has been used for several meetings, including some of the Quaker contribution to COP26. Despite a few initial problems due to the slow bandwidth it was a successful and rewarding Meeting.
