Query for the Second Month – Deepening Our Faith: Meeting for Business

• Is our meeting for business held in worship in which we seek divine guidance?
• How do we sustain prayerful consideration of all aspects of an issue and address difficult problems with a search for truth that is unhurried by the pressures of time?
• Do we recognize that we speak through our inaction as well as our action?
• Do I regularly attend meeting for business? If unable to attend, how do I fulfill the responsibility to understand and embrace the decisions made?
• How do I affirm and support God’s presence in the process of discernment and reaching a decision?
• Do I remain open to personal transformation as the community arrives at the sense of the meeting?
