|
|
- headline: Request clearness
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The applicant writes to the meeting requesting membership and shares
|
|
a written account of their spiritual journey and what draws them to
|
|
the meeting.
|
|
- headline: Appoint a clearness committee
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The meeting appoints a small committee of members to meet with the
|
|
applicant for discernment, not examination.
|
|
- headline: Meet in worship
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The committee and applicant meet in worship, asking honest questions
|
|
about the applicant's journey, understanding of Quaker practice, and
|
|
readiness for membership.
|
|
- headline: Report to meeting
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The committee reports to the monthly meeting whether clearness was
|
|
reached — that is, whether the applicant and committee discern unity
|
|
that membership is right at this time.
|
|
- headline: Meeting decides
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The monthly meeting acts on the report in its business meeting,
|
|
welcoming the new member or holding the matter for further
|
|
discernment.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Membership is discerned communally rather than applied for and approved,
|
|
with both the applicant and the meeting clear about the step.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The committee is not a vetting panel. Its work is discernment with the
|
|
applicant, not examination of them. The written spiritual journey is
|
|
the substance; honour it. |
