I am preparing to co-lead a presentation on Quaker responses to immigration as part of a series on Quaker Economics <a href="http://www.bhfh.org/qsp/qspEcon.html" rel="nofollow"> (http://www.bhfh.org/qsp/qspEcon.html)</a>. May I quote from your reflections on the process of discerning North Valley's minute &/or do you have other reflections to share? We hope to hold up the process of listening, how it undergirds & strengthens our compassion and witness, how we hold ourselves accountable and remain faithful, and what happens when we do. We of course have east coast stories to share, including our own, but you have wisdom to share on our Quaker tradition of minutes. My e-mail is quakerchild [at] gmail [dot] com.
