Submitted by StevenDavison on Fri, 01/27/2017 - 2:33pmReport on the Winter 2014 Meeting for Discernment
Held at Purchase Monthly Meeting March 1, 2014
The queries for morning and afternoon session were the same:
What does it mean to be faithful as individuals? As a gathered body?
What does faithfulness mean for a meeting?
The morning session began at 10:15 and went until noon, with Junior Yearly Meeting joining for the last 20 minutes of the morning session. The afternoon session was from 1:45 until 4:00. Morning session entries are 1-15, the rest are from the afternoon.
On March 2, 2013 New York Yearly Meeting’s Meeting for Discernment convened for the eleventh time. We met in Brooklyn Monthly Meeting’s historic meeting room for the morning session and in their social hall for the afternoon and follow-up sessions. About 70 friends attended. About 20 elders served the meeting; some met the night before to share a meal and prepare to hold the next day’s meeting in prayer.
