Recording clerk induction  Paul Parker, recording clerk of Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM), reported to Meeting for Sufferings (MfS) on his induction activities since his appointment.  He has held one-on-one meetings with almost all BYM staff at both Friends House and Swarthmoor Hall and has attended departmental and staff meetings. In addition, he has met with twenty committees and their clerks to learn about the governance structure. He has also been developing links with other faith organisations such as the United Reformed Church, Liberal Judaism, the Methodist Church, the Church of England and the Interfaith Network. Part of the minute read: ‘We appreciate the energy, commitment and deep spirituality that Paul has brought to the work.’
