Sharing the miracle

Laurie Michaelis has been inspired by the Gathering at Canterbury

When Nick Perks finished the introduction to the Friday morning Yearly Meeting (YM) session, I wept. The minute that followed makes a ‘strong corporate commitment’ to becoming a low carbon sustainable community, to making funds available for the work entailed and to a cycle of annual reporting to YM by Meeting for Sufferings and Trustees on the progress of this concern. It says that the action must flow from love: we must be both accountable to one another, and tender with one another.
