Deepening Our Faith: Meeting for Business

  • Is our meeting for business held in worship in which we seek divine guidance?
  • How do we sustain prayerful consideration of all aspects of an issue and address difficult problems with a search for truth that is unhurried by the pressures of time?
  • Do we recognize that we speak through our inaction as well as our action?
  • Do I regularly attend meeting for business? If unable to attend, how do I fulfill the responsibility to understand and embrace the decisions made?
  • How do I affirm and support God’s presence in the process of discernment and reaching a decision?
  • Do I remain open to personal transformation as the community arrives at the sense of the meeting?

I am hoping people will respond truly to these queries because I've been troubled to see so few  people attending. I pray for us to engage with the Spirit in conducting our business as a whe community - and for all our communities to do the same.

How do we teach this to our new members if they do not choose to make attending their own practice?
