From the PHP retreat at UFM, March 2022:

Elizabeth Meyer has served as Clerk at Sandy Spring Meeting under Baltimore Yearly Meeting, and she draws upon many years of experience with Quaker decision making around both seemingly mundane questions and seemingly intractable issues.

Not surprisingly, the pamphlet is structured practically: it lists twelve things Friends can do to ground and center themselves in a way that manifests the Divine in the business of the meeting. She also writes about the need to support clerks, from any seat in the room.

Quaker business process is a group practical mysticism that opens the worshiping body to the promptings of the Divine. At its best, all in the worshiping community -- not only the clerk -- understand and trust the process. This essay identifies twelve Friendly practices, aspects of Quaker process that, when faithfully adhered to, deepen our worship with attention to business and invite the work of the Divine Presence in our midst. Discussion questions included.

Excellent description of how and why "meeting for business" is first of all a "meeting for worship," with very helpful reminders of Friendly "best practices" for sustaining and making use of the spiritual nature of Quaker corporate decisionmaking. A recommended read for clerks and those who hope never to be a clerk alike! ( )

This excellent pamphlet is a practical guide to help us make our Quaker meeting for business into a mystical experience. Yes, really. All it takes is a spiritual faithful approach and good Quaker process.
We live in such a secular world, full of secular process and pressure for worldly results, that it is too easy to fall into secular ways. We feel time pressure and fall into impatience with our pace and even with each other. Even if we make satisfactory decisions, we aren't deeply moved and united by the Spirit. Instead, when attending meeting for worship with attention to business becomes a spiritual discipline, an opportunity for centering in deep worship and opening to Divine connection and guidance, we open ourselves to the love and joy of spiritual community and communion.
With her description of twelve Friendly practices that are part of the Quaker business meeting process and several advices, Meyer invites Friends into a renewed commitment to worship each time we attend to business. This pamphlet will help many Friends to do so. ( )
