Meeting for Sufferings: Appeals process to be reviewed
A review of Quaker faith & practice 4.25 and 4.26 will be undertaken
The Church Government Advisory Group met at Friends House on 11 April. They sent a minute to Meeting for Sufferings asking that a review of the appeal process against decisions by Area Meetings be reviewed. These are found in Quaker faith & practice 4.25 and 4.26. A draft set of Terms of Reference was also sent to Sufferings.
A Friend commented that possibly the group should also look at 4.23 as many problems seemed to arise from the way in which Area Meetings record decisions.
