Membership does have certain implications, however.
Above all, it implies a devotion to the Inward Light as the source of divine guidance, sought through the Meeting for Worship and through individual meditation and spiritual search. One's ability to give time, effort and money in these ways will vary according to the individual member's circumstances and from time to time. It is a vehicle for expressing collective social concerns and serves as a channel between individuals and larger Friends organizations. It is committed to keeping in touch with less active members or those at a distance and keeping them informed of its business. The Meeting is entrusted with being a good steward of the personal and financial gifts made to it.
