AWPS Committee Meeting Epistle
To dear Friends everywhere
Meeting in a meditation centre in Osaka, Japan, with Asia West Pacific Friends has been a wonderful and supportive experience. We have moved the Section forward on a number of fronts.
We feel blessed.
Our ministry is to embrace Friends around the section with loving care. We embrace our joys and friendships and our hardships. We acknowledge inequalities among us.
We feel the light shine brightly when we are together.
One Friend said they feel personally and spiritually connected to every member of the committee as well as with Friends they are representing.
It was wonderful to share and discuss our concerns in the manner of worship.
We have been deeply nurtured through spiritual sharing exercises.
New bonds were forged and old bonds strengthened, as Friends look at the opportunities and challenges of being Quaker in an area with many cultures and languages and few Friends.
We’ve been knitted together more closely as a committee.
We are going to achieve our Section goals by continuing our efforts. We have planned the next steps.
We have committed to a Section meeting in 2018, hopefully in Hong Kong.
Hospitality has been given and received.
We must keep the light illuminating as we head back home.
