After a few months of discussion and seasoning, we found a way forward by accepting her background check from a local public school, on the idea that if they had found anything problematic, she would not have been allowed to participate in the school's activities. We should have systems in place.

I am glad we are having this conversation, Friends. The only time I've felt moved to stand in the way of a decision was when Mtg tried to bring in a childcare worker without a background check. Older Friends felt they could read the soul of this person, and I heard clearly that that was not enough.

We’re theological thinkers,though we may not use the same vocabulary as other faith traditions...we trust continuing revelation, our faith is grounded in an evolving experiences of the Divine… including what people tell us about their experiences, how those experiences transformed their lives."

An interesting look at when testimony bumps up against nationalism. May be of interest to Friends here in Cymru, where nationalism is similarly complex? Nationalism as reaction to oppression/erasure vs nationalism as populism and scapegoating? A tricky subject to say the least.

I appreciate the succinct and straightforward message attached to the file link. The Friends came to to do business today.
