Quaker Stewardship Committee (QSC), which helps and guides Meetings in the stewardship of their finance and property, has no formal relationship with Meeting for Sufferings. But its clerk welcomed the opportunity to communicate with the body in a year in which: Meetings were being encouraged to simplify their ways of working; significant changes to the way that Area and Local Meetings are supported were being planned; Friends were revising the church government sections of Quaker faith & practice; and Meetings were grappling with the increased burden of external regulation being imposed on charities, including churches.
