Community through Committee Work
Public ContentAnyone can view this post
At the November 21 meeting for learning, the Nominating Committee led worship sharing around the following queries with regard to how Friends engage in committee work. These queries are borrowed from a renewal process recently used in SAYMA M&N, with that process facilitated by Atlanta Friend Mary Ann Downey:
- How am I actively listening for that of God in others as we contend with vulnerability, hurt, anger, and change?
- How am I wrestling with the possibility that I may be wrong?
- How am I bringing that into the Light?
- If my current method of communication is not working, what other methods am I trying?
- Is there room for others' humanity and life circumstances in my expectations? Do I see what they are able to bring, as enough?
- Have I examined the power dynamics of myself in relationships, how I currently operate and communicate?
Mary Ann Downey's writings have appeared in Friends Journal.
