But it also includes an intentional attempt on our part to hear God's call in our life. It involves our full humanity as well as communion with God. We listened carefully to the well-written report of the Friends World Committee for Consultation , prepared by Callie Marsh. Appreciation was expressed for the report, and for the struggles of the committee in seeking to fulfill its mission statement within its available resources. The Printing Committee report, prepared by Ed Clopton, was read, corrected, and approved.
Friends appreciate the larger type.
We direct the Printing Committee to print the minute books in a type and format which is easy to read, within our budget. We appreciate a Friend's willingness to put the minutes on tape through the Iowa Department for the Blind. We will explore the possibility of making them available electronically at the QuakerNet workshop. We listened, with great interest, to the thoughtfully worded report of the Discipline Revision Committee , prepared by Carol Gilbert and Marce Hinshaw. The marriage minute drafted at last Yearly Meeting in session, and which has been discussed by Friends in the past year, was considered, amended, and approved.
