[Fuusmchat] Last Night's Discussion of the Minister's Performance

I believe I can say with certainty and on behalf of everyone there that embarrassment has nothing to do with the reason your suggestion to put a summary of last night’s meeting in the Confluence was voted down in a landslide. 
“Sharing your impressions” would be exactly that, and is the reason no one with an obvious bias should be writing a summation for public consumption.

After getting home and sharing my impressions of last night's discussion with Linda, I can understand why people might be embarrassed to have it summarized in Confluence. I did take notes and any member who wasn't there and wants to know what happened can call me at 609 744-7475.
 We have a Conflict Resolution and Grievance Procedure which is posted on the fuusm.org site.  The opening paragraph is as follows:

I think there is merit in "clear, direct, honest and loving communication with the parties concerned".  I hope we do more of that.  Some of these personal grievances are misunderstandings that could be resolved if people would talk directly.
 I did prepare a statement of my impressions of Kat's performance as minister but I didn't get a chance to speak last night. Next month Linda and I will be at a conference in Washington.  But my views are close to those shared by Virginia and Jim.
 Linda and I have always found Kat to be personable and supportive and  have enjoyed her sermons, although my own preference is for unprogrammed Quaker worship.  
Anyone who is interested in my views can click on the link.  If anyone else wants to share their written statement or make any comments, I suggest they use this list to do it.  The guidelines for this list are very broad.
