Query 2. Meeting for Business

Is our meeting for business held in the spirit of a meeting for worship in

which we seek divine guidance?

Are we careful to keep in the spirit of worship each of the concerns that

emerge, whether of nurture, of Spirit, of social concerns, of property, or

of finance?

Are Meeting decisions directed by prayerful consideration of all aspects

of an issue and are difficult problems considered carefully with patient

search for truth, unhurried by the pressures of time?

How do we respond if we notice the meeting has lost an understanding

of the presence of God?

Do we recognize that we speak through our inaction as well as our

action?

Do I regularly attend meeting for business and in a spirit of love and

unity? If unable to attend, how do I attend to my responsibility?

Do I consider prayerfully the many concerns that are lifted up on any

issue, acknowledging that the search for truth in unity involves what God

requires, being open to personal transformation as the community arrives

at the sense of the meeting?
