Subject: Peace & Social Concerns Opportunity

Dear Friends,
  
 Please consider sending a member of your  Meeting Peace & Social Concerns committee to this gathering.   It seems an opportunity for both our individual meetings and SEYM to  strengthen our work and witness in this world.  
  Peace - Karen Putney

             Workshop & Retreat Descriptions
    
September 8-10
    Faithful, Effective Work for Peace and Justice
    Annual Weekend for Quaker Peace and Justice Committee Clerks and Members
    
Confer  with Friends from around the country and representatives of the  American Friends Service Committee, Friends Committee on National  Legislation and Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. Together we will share  ideas and strategize for a year of faithful – and effective – work for  peace and justice.

• How can our national organizations help Friends in their witness at the local level?
• How can Friends’ meetings best support the work and witness of Friends at the national level?
• How can we most effectively focus the limited resources of our local meetings?
• What can we do when our meeting is divided about a peace or justice issue?
• What sustains us spiritually as we try to grapple with a barrage of issues – all of which seem urgent?
