Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends

May 2011

Good Morning,

Once, while preaching on the joys of being a Christian, I recounted the privileges of gathering for worship, the intimacy of personal prayer and the exhilaration of sharing our faith. In the congregation heads nodded in agreement. Then I added that as Christians we even get to attend Monthly Meeting! Everyone laughed. Why do many Friends prefer to avoid meetings for business? Why do many consider it laughable to view such meetings as a joy?

In February 2010, Indiana Senator Evan Bayh announced that he would not seek re-election to the United States Senate saying, For some time, I've had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is much too much partisanship and not enough progress, too much narrow ideology and not enough practical problem-solving. Even at a time of enormous national challenge, the people's business is not getting done.

Do your meetings for business operate as they should? Do you leave them with a sense that Gods work is being done? As Friends we approach the conduct of business differently than many churches. Rather than making decisions through majority rule we embrace the ideal of acting on the basis of corporate discernment of Gods will. When our gatherings are Spirit-led they are delightfully satisfying. When marked by political posturing and micro-management, most folks can easily find better things to do.

Faith & Practice includes this question, Are your meetings for business conducted in a spirit of worship and a united search for Gods leading in transacting the affairs of the meeting? If they are, folks are more likely to view them as a high privilege instead of a laughable obligation.

Indiana Yearly Meeting Sessions, July 21-24

The conduct of business is the primary reason that Yearly Meeting sessions are held. Local meetings are asked to name representatives to attend the sessions, but any member of a local meeting affiliated with IYM may attend and take part in the business sessions. Friends business practices are used in the conduct of all business. The presiding clerk and the recording clerk preside over all sessions. The presiding clerk, serving as the presiding officer, recognizes Friends to speak, listens to the expressions of those who do speak, and attempts to discern Gods will for the group before asking for the approval of the meeting. Experience this at Quaker Haven Camp, July 21-24.

Jericho Friends and Bear Creek Friends will hold a joint daily Vacation Bible School from June 20-24 at Bear Creek Friends.

Long Lake Friends has launched a new website to help the church share its ministries with the local community and beyond. The website provides access to upcoming events, reasons for attending church, Scripture of the Week, and recent sermons with audio available online. You are invited to visit their website at: www.LongLake Friends.MyFaithFeed.com.

New Castle First Friends will hold their Homecoming, Sunday, May 15 with worship at 9:45 and a music celebration at 10:50, followed by a pitch-in lunch.

Richmond First Friends held its first-ever Committee Fair on May 1. Each committee prepared displays and manned booths so that others could learn more about all of the work taking place within the meeting and shar insights and feedback. The meeting extends a heartfelt thanks to all who volunteer their time, energy, and resources to the life of the meeting!

Wabash Friends is accepting applications for a full-time Youth Pastor who will create a dynamic youth ministry to equip, train, and develop 7th to 12th grade youth to become lifelong followers of Jesus Christ. For more information, contact [email protected].

If your meeting would like to assist, good used and donated equipment would be welcome as would designated financial contributions. Contact Doug Shoemaker at 800-292-5238 if you can help.

The Pulpit Supply List has been updated. It can be found on the yearly meeting website, www.iym.org, under the Reports and Downloadable Forms tab.

HOST AN INTERNATIONAL VISITOR!! In an effort to help our Kenyan visitors with lodging accommoda-tions before and after FUM Triennial, Indiana YM and Western YM have developed a plan! YOU can host a Kenyan! YOU will provide a room, food, Ffriendly interaction and a bit of transportation. We anticipate that the African contingent will arrive Tuesday, July 19. IYM guests will join their host families at Bethel Friends. You will take your guest(s) home for Tuesday night, Wednesday and part of Thursday, then to IYM at QHC (July 21-24). Following IYM you will have your guest on Sunday night and Monday, then return them to Bethel Friends to board the bus to QHCC and FUM Triennial at Wilmington College in Ohio (July 27-

31). Host homes are needed! We anticipate ten to twenty visitors (with WYM hosting a like number). If you can provide accommodations before AND after or before OR after, please contact Pat Shrock,

[email protected], 765-628-6033 (leave msg) or 765-860-4443. Also note whether you can house a single or a couple. It would be wonderful if you take your visitor to local events such as picnics, weddings, county fairs, etc. Trips to the zoo or Connor Prairie might be fun. Help them have a taste of Hoosier Hospitality and Indiana culture beyond meetings! They will be taken as a group to Levi Coffin House, to a movie and possibly to the Natural History Museum in Cincinnati. NOTE: All visitors will be fluent in English with a strong accent. They will be happy with simple menus. Your home is more than ade-quate!! You have a wonderful opportunity here! Thank you for con-sidering this avenue of ministry! Questions?
