title: Quaker Clearness Committee
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A Quaker practice for discerning a personal decision through a small
|
|
committee that asks honest questions rather than offering advice. Originating
|
|
in the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in the 17th century.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Form the committee
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The focus person invites five or six trusted people to serve as a
|
|
committee for a two-hour meeting devoted to a specific question or
|
|
decision they face.
|
|
- headline: Share the question
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The focus person reads a short written statement describing the issue
|
|
and the context, without seeking advice.
|
|
- headline: Ask only questions
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Committee members ask honest, open questions — no advice, no leading
|
|
questions, no stories from their own life. The focus person may decline
|
|
to answer any question.
|
|
- headline: Silence between questions
|
|
description: >-
|
|
After each question and response, the group sits in silence to let the
|
|
answer settle before the next question is posed.
|
|
- headline: Close with reflection
|
|
description: >-
|
|
In the final twenty minutes the committee offers any observations, and
|
|
the focus person reflects on what has emerged.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
The focus person gains clarity about their own discernment without being
|
|
steered by others' opinions or agendas.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The discipline of questions-only is the hardest part. If someone slips into
|
|
advice, the clerk gently interrupts. Prepare a written statement in advance;
|
|
the act of writing often begins the clarity. |
