Integration is the key

Planning for Yearly Meeting Gathering in Canterbury

Gerald Conyngham (9 July) might almost have been listening in to the discussions of both the Yearly Meeting Gathering Planning Committee (YMGPC) and the Yearly Meeting Agenda Committee (YMAC). We agree with him! The integration of the two components of a Yearly Meeting Gathering that he advocates is very clearly what both committees are hoping to work towards. The outline timetable for Yearly Meeting Gathering 2011 already contains a plenary session that is annotated for ‘responding to the gathering as well as the Yearly Meeting’.
