“God So Loved the World that He Didn’t Send a Committee”

by Herb Lape
Westbury Meeting

 

Recovering a Spirit-Led structure in NYYM has been a New York Yearly Meeting concern for many years now.

It was “charged with bringing forward recommendations on ways to simplify and strengthen the yearly meeting’s committee structure.”
