Meeting for Sufferings: Quakers hear proposal to form communications group

‘We need to [value this diversity and] be careful we hear the voice of those who do not use more modern methods of communication.’

The morning session of 4 March opened with a proposal for a new Meeting for Sufferings (MfS) Communications Group, following December’s request for the Arrangements Group to consider action on the matter. The proposal follows a report from the group appointed to review Yearly Meeting (YM) and MfS, which highlighted a need for better communication, with some Quakers feeling disconnected from central decision-making.
