PYM’s Ministry and Care Committee of Quaker Life Council is requesting Monthly Meetings each to report on their spiritual state. Reports are expected no later than 15th of 4th Month 2023. (That’s April 15th, folks.)

Please join us, either in-person, or on Zoom to discuss.

For those Friends who find it helpful to use specific queries to focus our report, the Committee offers the following queries:

  1. In this past year, how has your meeting worked to create and strengthen the reality of a Beloved Community? How has your meeting fostered an environment in which members and attenders of all ages know they are loved, cared for, trusted, and respected?

  2. How have you sought to be neighbors and in relationship with other communities? 

  3. How has your meeting been called to address issues of racism this past year? What additional concerns and initiatives have your meeting or meeting members been led to address? 

  4. How has the Spirit guided your work on climate change? How has your meeting addressed the five action areas identified in the Climate Change Sprint Report (Statement on Moving Forward Together in the Face of Climate Change)? Has your Meeting appointed a Climate Witness liaison?

  5. What learnings and yearnings particular to your meeting would you like to share?  

  6. What are things the Yearly Meeting might do to support your meeting?
