steps:
|
|
- headline: Settle into worship
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The meeting opens with silence, settling the group into a worshipful
|
|
state before any business is conducted.
|
|
- headline: Present the matter
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The clerk introduces the item with relevant facts and any minute from
|
|
a prior meeting, then pauses for reflection.
|
|
- headline: Speak as led
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Participants rise to speak only as they feel led by the Spirit,
|
|
one at a time, with pauses between contributions.
|
|
- headline: Discern the sense
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The clerk listens for the emerging "sense of the meeting" and drafts a
|
|
minute reflecting it, reading it back for the meeting's unity.
|
|
- headline: Record the minute
|
|
description: >-
|
|
When the meeting unites on the minute, it is recorded. If unity is not
|
|
reached, the matter is held over or laid aside.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A decision is recorded that the meeting can unite behind, reached through
|
|
worshipful discernment rather than majority rule.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The clerk serves, not leads — drafting the minute is the work of
|
|
discernment. If two strongly held positions remain, the clerk lays the
|
|
matter down rather than forcing a vote. |
