Engage with Texts Currently Under Discussion

In 2018, the Faith and Practice Revision Committee brought a text on Pastoral Care to Yearly Meeting Sessions and sent it out to the meetings and worship groups for comment. The text has been revised and will come back to the Yearly meeting for further consideration.

In the fall of 2019, the Faith and Practice Revision committee mailed to all the monthly meetings and worship groups a copy of a draft chapter on Marriage, asking Friends to consider the text. Six meetings sent the committee their responses before the pandemic upended meeting schedules. At Sessions in August 2020 the committee held a Listening Session on the chapter that was well attended. The committee encourages meetings to send their responses to the Marriage chapter (posted below) to the committee.

In October 2021 the Yearly Meeting office emailed the draft chapter on Ministry & Counsel, together with a cover letter explaining the feedback we need from meetings. Those documents are posted below; every Friend is invited to download and read the chapter and participate in the discernment process.
