Proposed Minute for a Pilot Spiritual Formation Program

The Yearly Meeting asks the Spiritual Formation Group to serve as an ad hoc yearly meeting committee to develop and implement a pilot spiritual formation program over the coming two years. This program will seek to feed the spiritual hunger of individuals, meetings and worship groups, increase knowledge of and identification with Quaker experience in the wider world, and support inter-visitation among our various meeting and worship groups.

The Group will report to the Executive Committee and annual sessions. The membership will develop according to interest and need. The Group will choose its own clerk.

Furthermore, the Yearly Meeting allocates for the coming year an allowance of $1,000 so that the Group can meet those program expenses (including communication, printed materials, and travel) that cannot be met by the participating meetings and worship groups.

Present membership of the Spiritual Formation Group:

Andy Bardwell (Mountain View) Kitty Ufford-Chase (Pima) Wyn Lewis (Santa Fe) Bruce Thron-Weber (Mountain View) Charlene Weir (Salt Lake)
