They range all the way from Christian education, to outreach, to our school system, to the poor people of our community. I counted four responses which had to do with race relations and racism, which suggests that might be an important priority. We've got missions, and community leadership, and Quaker values, and conflict management, and peace work. We've even got stewardship held up as major concern. I think that all of these are pretty strong statements of where we ought to be looking for direction.
Stewardship is a spiritual concern, as well as a financial one.
Where we go with all these responses is a little bit more of a problem. In order to discern what God wants, we all have to listen. Part of what it means to be a body of people, gathered together under God, is that we are a group of people who listen. We don't just go charging ahead and do whatever we want to do, on our own. We stop, and we listen to God.
