A Workshop on Community Discernment
Wednesday, August 20, 2008 by Jay T.
I wrote the invitation below for my local meeting. Some information about the workshop is at the top. Then there is a list of the topics we had available to read about and perhaps discuss. Third is a bibliography for the readings.
Friends have some unique and wonderful ways of deciding things together. You’re invited to participate in learning more about them in a September Workshop on Community Discernment at Corvallis Friends Meeting. We plan for two sessions before worship on 9/7 and 9/21/2008. This could expand to more sessions, if we need it and are led there.
This is a response to some inklings felt by the Committees on Ministry & Oversight and Adult Religious Education. Our meeting has many people serving in new responsibilities this year. We have a unique organization with volunteer coordinators and short term volunteers that we all could benefit from careful consideration of. We hope this session will be of use to all in our meeting and of particular use to committee clerks.
I have selected and copied some readings on various topics. Read the rest of this entry »
