Change and transition

Roland Carn writes about his experience of Yearly Meeting Gathering

My first impression of Yearly Meeting Gathering (YMG) 2014 in Bath was of a building site. We were thinking about the transition to being Quaker. A building site is a place in transformation from one state to another. 

Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) is a spiritual building site. Since my first one some fifty years ago, we now worry about mobile phones, social media and computers and we use films and storytelling as never before. The experience is intense and exciting. For me, it is a time of frustration and disappointment as I feel out of touch with the Yearly Meeting and where it is going.
