Dear Friends,

At our meeting during Spring Sessions 2015, Nurture Coordinating Committee considered at length the minute that Brooklyn Friends had approved regarding New York Yearly Meeting’s continuing support of Friends United Meeting while FUM’s personnel policy discriminating against non-celibate LGBT Quakers serving as volunteers or staff remains in place.

REPORT TO NYYM FALL SESSIONS 2016 ON THE BROOKLYN MINUTE

Friends may recall that, at Summer Sessions 2015, Nurture Coordinating Committee reported that we had received a minute from Brooklyn Meeting with the following concern, and I will quote the minute:
