Nick will write a letter to the foundations thanking them for the grant and enclosing the tax-exempt letter required. Meeting requested that an overview of the building project be circulated. It was suggested that a full canvas of members and attenders for 3-year commitment of contributions might provide valuable guidance for the committee. An agreement from Purchase Quarter has been submitted for our comments. The document will be included in the newsletter.
Friends report that a Meeting for Worship there is a unique and moving experience.
If there were more Friends at Meeting, newcomers would be encouraged to come again. Ministry and Counsel Meeting approved a Specially-Called Meeting for Worship with a Concern for Priorities, at the rise of Meeting on Third Month 3. The State of the Meeting Report might be reviewed then as well. Facilitators will be Dana Raphael and Michael Gibbons with help from Ministry and Counsel. This will be the first in a series of meetings whose goal is to enlighten those people who are less familiar with Friends as to the spiritual basis of the Quaker faith.
