In June this year at Wymondham we began preparations to host Area Meeting, and to offer a presentation on the life of our Local Meeting. We decided to look at the fact that we are the only Meeting within our area without a Meeting house, and to consider how we felt about that.
We circulated a questionnaire to everyone on our list asking:
- In your experience, what are the advantages of not having a Meeting house?
- In your experience, what are the disadvantages of not having a Meeting house?
- How do you think having a Meeting house might change our Local Meeting?
- Any other thoughts?
