Thought for the Week: Challenging times

Some of us will remember our exuberant joy seven-and-a-half years ago in Canterbury, when Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) passed Minute 36 committing ourselves to becoming a ‘low-carbon, sustainable community’. This had not happened easily, but was the result of years of hard work by dedicated individuals who had laboured, producing material, running courses, visiting Meetings and writing articles trying to get across the urgency of the situation. At last, with over 1,000 Friends present, the minute was agreed and accepted.
