Meeting for Worship
& First Day School
Sundays at 11:00 a.m.
Midweek Meeting for Worship, Wednesdays at 6:00
p.m.
Advices:
The heart of the Religious
Society of Friends is the Meeting for Worship. In direct communion with God, we
offer ourselves for God’s will. Our daily lives are linked with the Meeting for
Worship, the Meeting for Worship with our daily lives.
Come regularly to Meeting
for Worship, even when you are angry, tired, or spiritually cold. Bring your
joys and your hurts, and the needs of other people. Accept and support each
other in the community where God dwells among us. As you do so, you may find
the grace of prayer.
At times the Spirit may
prompt you to speak in Meeting. Wait patiently to know that the sense and the
time are right. When you are sure, have confidence that the words will be given
to you. Listen to the ministry of others with an open spirit. If it is not
God’s word for you, it may be for others. After a message has been given, allow
time to ponder its meaning and to let the Meeting return to silent worship. In
speech and in silence, each person contributes to the Meeting.
Queries:
Do I come to Meeting with
heart and mind prepared for worship?
In both silent and vocal
ministry, do I respond to the leadings of the Holy Spirit, without
pre-arrangement and in simplicity and truth?
Am I careful not to speak at
undue length or beyond personal spiritual experience?
Do
we meet in expectant waiting for the promptings of the Divine Spirit?
Are
we drawn together in a living silence by the power of God in our midst?
After a period of worship, Meeting for Business began at
1:04 pm with 20 people present. The clerk opened with a reading from the PYM Faith & Practice Advices &
Queries for Twelfth month on “The Meeting Community.” We reflected on the queries in silence.
Approval of Previous Month’s Minutes
12-01: Meeting approves the minutes of November 11, 2012,
as presented.
Ad Hoc Naming Committee Report
Philip Gerrie, convenor, shared a report of the Naming
Committee. No concerns were raised regarding the nominations brought last
month.
12-02: Meeting approves the following appointments to the
Nominating Committee: Arthur Koch,
through 12/31/2013; and David Ackerly, Anne Collins and Kate Frankel through
12/31/2014.
The Naming Committee nominates Sandra Schwartz to serve
as clerk of the Nominating Committee through 12/31/2013. We will season this
nomination for one month.
Property & Finance Committee – 2013 Budget
Amy Baker, meeting treasurer, presented minor
adjustments to the proposed budget for 2013. (Copy of revised proposal attached
to archive copy of these minutes.)
The Property & Finance Committee will slightly increase rates for
rentals of the meeting space downstairs which will increase our annual income,
allowing a reduction in the proposed draw on the general fund. The budget also
includes two new annual contributions of $100 each requested by Peace &
Social Concerns Committee to support programs in Guatemala and El Salvador
which are sponsored by Redwood Forest and Palo Alto Friends Meetings.
12-03: Meeting approves the proposed 2013 budget with
revisions presented today.
Ministry & Oversight Committee
Chad Stephenson, co-clerk, shared a report from M&O.
There will be a Meeting for Worship at 11 am on Dec. 25th with
potluck to follow. Additionally there will be a Meeting for Worship on January
1st, 2013. Introduction to Meeting for Worship will be held in the
Library during renovations. The M&O Retreats Subcommittee will meet next
month to take the current job description for the annual Meeting retreat on-site
coordinator and explore ways to turn these duties into a variety of
responsibilities which can be shared among retreat attenders instead of a
single coordinator. The subcommittee would recruit Retreat registrants each
year to carry out these tasks.
Property & Finance Committee (contd.)
Philip Gerrie, committee clerk, gave an update on the
ongoing renovations in the kitchen and in the AFSC offices upstairs, both
scheduled to be completed this month. This is the first renovation of the
upstairs offices in over 15 years. In addition, the meeting room floor is
scheduled to be sanded and re-sealed on Dec. 26th. Room 3 has been
renovated and the new tenant, the Center for Lao Studies, has moved in. P&F
recently completed a performance review for the Building Manager, the first in
eight years. The committee intends
to undertake this task annually from now on.
Peace & Social Concerns Committee
Dirk von der Horst, co-clerk, reported for P&SC. The committee is willing to
co-sponsor Occupy Forums in the future when space is available in the meeting
room. The committee endorses the 99% Coalition’s call to oppose the National
Defense Authorization Act, which allows for individuals to be imprisoned
without due process when related to national security concerns. The committee
is discussing ways to support those who participate in the Pay Under Protest
program which highlights War Tax Resistance efforts. The regular meeting of the
committee is the Wednesday before meeting for business.
Philip Gerrie offered an update on the Food Pantry. Food Runners is now offering additional
donated food to our program from Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. With the assistance of Food Bank staff,
the pantry recently made the switch to a client registration and time-slot
system which has eliminated long waits in line. There are sufficient volunteers to staff the pantry each
week, however currently only two Meeting coordinators: Paula Joyce and Philip.
The committee is asking for Meeting volunteers to step forward to be trained
and serve as a Food Pantry coordinator. Philip will email the coordinator job
description and time commitments to the Google group list.
Rausch Street Update
Stephen Matchett, clerk, read aloud the section of the
minutes of November’s meeting for business concerning the Rausch Street
property. He reported that the
group of interested individuals identified there are planning to meet in early
January. He noted that the trust
administrators are so far exerting no pressure on us to reach a decision by a
certain date whether to take title to the property.
After a period of announcements and sharing of joys and
concerns, Meeting closed with worship at 2:27 pm with 19 people in attendance.
Respectfully submitted,
Blake Arnall, Recording Clerk Stephen
Matchett, Clerk of Meeting

Dear Friends,
Happy Christmas! I've been excited about the holidays coming up as
we have really good friends from Pretoria Quaker Worship Group coming to spend
Christmas on the coast together.
Things have been rolling along easily in work and home over the
last month. However, as some of you may have read, there has been a large
increase in violence in the East part of Nairobi where many Somali refugees
live. There have been bombs and a market was looted. We've had many AVP workshops
there, funded by the Mennonite Church. At our most recent facilitator meeting
we heard that some of our AVP facilitators have been called to help defuse the
violence and tension in the aftermath of some of the bombings.
Two weeks ago we had some of the worst traffic snarls I've ever
experienced, when all the public transport went on strike to protest new
traffic laws. Among the many convoluted new laws is one that says any driver
held responsible for killing a pedestrian will automatically get a life
sentence in jail. The culture of impunity keeps getting codified.
Again, please pray for our safety and well-being and for peace to
prevail in this country sundered by corruption and violence.
May your New Year feel blessed by the gift of God's consistent
care and love.
Love,
Heidi

January 2013 News from Ben
Lomond Quaker Center
Our
full 2013 program schedule is now
available as a downloadable PDF file at www.quakercenter.org. Do you want to
suggest a program for 2014? Now's the time! Email us at mail@quakercenter.org if you
have a great program idea for Friends and fellow travelers.
Join
us from January 25-27 when Quaker
author, Brent Bill, will lead a
provocative program, A Modest Proposal:
Participating in God's Future for Friends. 30,000
people a day try belief.net's Belief-O-Matic and, according to Newsweek, a
disproportionate number of them learn that their beliefs fit the description of
a liberal Quaker. Why aren't our Quaker meetinghouses bursting with newcomers?
Join us a time of spiritual reflection and idea generation around this
question.
During the weekend of February 15-17, we'll have a close look at a critical time in
Quaker history when Elias Hicks was
at the center of the controversies that resulted in the Quaker schisms of the
1820's. Hicks' ideas are still challenging today. We will explore his
advice on how to live a faithful life as we face the world's temptations and
consider the significance of his views to the Society of Friends (both then and
now) and to ourselves. Join us and author, theologian and historian Paul Buckley for Elias Hicks and the Quaker Separations of the 1820s.

MARK
YOUR CALENDAR for Saturday, February 23, 2013, when Ministry & Oversight
Committee is sponsoring an all day workshop in Nonviolent Communication, led by
Dorothy Henderson of Grass Valley Meeting. For everyone in Meeting
interested in building and strengthening the beloved community. How do we
keep our loving connection with one another, even (especially) when
experiencing conflict? Please plan to come to what is sure to be a
valuable and rewarding session. And it's free! More details in next
month's newsletter.
Social
Transformation Using the Three-Fold Path Workshop

Church for the
Fellowship of All Peoples
2041 Larkin Street (near Vallejo), San Francisco.
T
he Three Fold Path
to Social Change:
Personal Development, Alternative Communities, and Civic
Engagement.
Efforts in each of
these three areas reinforce the others. The stronger we are as individuals, the
more we contribute to our communities and effective civic engagement. Strong
communities nurture strong individuals and provide a foundation for effective
civic engagement. Effective civic engagement enhances personal strength and
builds social infrastructure.
Do you want to: 1)
Work on your personal development; 2) organize to impact public policy; or 3)
help build new, sustainable communities?
If so, we invite
you to celebrate MLK weekend by joining us as we explore the Gandhi-King
holistic Three-Fold Approach to organizing and social change.
The event will feature a panel
discussion, small group discussions and networking opportunities.

Youth Program
Coordinator Epistle VII December 2012
Dear Pacific Yearly Meeting Friends,
Winter greetings. I’m writing now to share how we of many
ages in our Yearly Meeting have been traveling together through these seasons
of renewal. Since my epistle last Spring, I’ve continued visiting Meetings and
serving as a resource for the planning committees of our Quarterly Meetings,
Junior Yearly Meeting (JYM), and local events such as the fall Harvest Festival
in Palo Alto and the upcoming Spring Youth Work Camp at Quaker Oaks Farm.
I’ve especially concentrated on extended visits to Southern
California Quarterly Meeting:
In March, I visited San Diego and La Jolla Meetings in
conjunction with the PYM Representative Committee Meeting. In April, I attended
the SCQM Spring Gathering in Riverside, CA and its service project to clean up
the land at Inland Valley Meeting’s future site. I then visited and worshiped
with Friends at Inland Valley, La Jolla, Orange County, Orange Grove, Santa
Monica, Marloma Long Beach, and Conejo Valley.
In the summer, I visited Santa Barbara Meeting and
proceeded down to La Jolla for the first annual Peace Action Camp, a new Quaker
Center camp that trains teens in nonviolent direct action and community
organizing; Jim Summers and Mary Klein of our Youth Program Committee also
helped Stephen Myers (Quaker Center Camps Director and JYM Adult Clerk) run the
camp, which will again be held in La Jolla in July 2013.
In the fall, I was able to visit Las Vegas and Claremont,
and to participate in the SCQM Clerk’s Meeting. Fall Fellowship at Temescal
Canyon was beautiful, not only in weather and landscape, but also in the ways
that SCQM is nurturing gifts and relationships among its age groups: one
plenary session included a teen and adult panelists on the topic of “Creating
the Meeting You Want to Belong To,” and teen clerks led an activity for all
that they had learned in a clerking workshop at Quaker Center. I offered a
interest group there on “Becoming an Adult Ally to Youth,” in which Friends
explored what it has meant in their own lives to have (or not have) allies and
to act as an ally; we then shared ideas for an action we each could take toward
supporting Quaker youth.
Similarly, College Park Quarter continues to experiment
with ways to strike a balance between intergenerational and age-divided
activity. The CPQM teen program’s adult committee hosted an all-ages plenary in
the Fall in which children, teens, and adults were taken on a progressive
guided visualization of the passion they had/have/might-have as a teenager and
then asked
to share with “a person of a different decade.” After
multiple rounds, participants had met and shared stories with a number Friends
they hadn’t known well before. Afterwards, many talked of (re)connecting with a
fire within.
Exciting progress continues to happen with the support of
our Youth Program. JYM was enriched by a full set of experienced Friendly Adult
Presences (FAPs) at the Annual Gathering, many of whom had attended one of our
FAP workshops in the last two years. Both Quarterly Meetings also found plenty
of adult volunteers for their Fall gatherings and benefited from continued
growth in youth leadership. FAPs are super-important to our ability to host
safe events for teens, and serving as a FAP can be a lot of fun: you get to
meet some wonderful Friends and participate in program activities as well.
Being an adult ally to youth, though, goes way beyond
‘just’ serving as a chaperon. There are many other ways that Friends are supporting
youth besides volunteering to hang out all day or night with them. Committees,
workgroups, and logistical support are also critical
for making programs possible. For example, eleven Friends (adults and teens) from six Meetings are working together to create a new event, the Spring Youth Work Camp at Quaker Oaks Farm in Visalia this coming March, with the support of our Youth Program and PYM’s Unity With Nature Committee. The camp’s theme is “Land Use and Sustainability” and will include building an outdoor amphitheater, rebuilding a sweat lodge with youth from the local Wukchumni tribe, taking field trips nearby, and learning about local land use issues. Friends also act as allies to youth by making sure they know about upcoming events, showing them how to register, helping them through the process of asking for financial support, coordinating transportation, or acting as sponsors for minors who attend events without their parents/ guardians. Friends donate to scholarship funds for youth to attend gatherings or to support the youth programs at Sierra Friends Center / Woolman, Quaker Center, AFSC, FCNL, and FCLCA. And Friends act as allies in their own Meetings simply by greeting the children, teens, and young adults by name, or by having authentic two-way conversations about each other’s ongoing spiritual and worldly journeys.

And Friends act as allies in their own Meetings simply by greeting the children, teens, and young adults by name, or by having authentic two-way conversations about each other’s ongoing spiritual and worldly journeys.
Be on the lookout for announcements soon about two Adult
Ally / FAP Workshops that we will be offering in April 2013, one in Sacramento
and one in the Los Angeles area. In the workshop, participants learn from the
experiences of other Friends and about best practices and resources to support
youth, promote youth leadership, and develop appropriate adult- youth
relationships.
We continue to publish regularly in Western Friend and are
encouraging youth to make submissions. The recent November issue includes two
such articles: one is a report co- authored by teen Brooke Lyons-Justus (Strawberry
Creek) with adult Elizabeth Boardman (Davis), describing their experiences of
the August “Seeking Spirit All Together” Workshop at Quaker Center that was
co-facilitated by Nate Secrest and me; the other is by JYM Co-Clerks Clare
Griese (La Jolla), Emma Castanedo (La Jolla), and Augie Brinker (Santa Cruz),
reporting about their service project at Petaluma Bounty Farm and plans for the
coming year. In related news, Mary Klein (Palo Alto), who serves on our YPC
Supervisory Committee, has been named the new Editor/Executive Director of
Western Friend! I look forward to working closely with Mary as we build on the
strong foundation laid by Kathy Hyzy and the Western Friend Board to expand the
ways we amplify youth voices and reach young ears and eyes throughout the West.
At PYM’s 2012 Annual Session, our Youth Program Coordinator
experimental period was extended through September 2013 to give us time to more
fully implement the program and evaluate its impacts. Our committee is
currently conducting a thorough and deliberate evaluation of the program, which
we will first present to Representative Committee in March and then to PYM’s
Annual Session in July/August 2013. At the moment, we are grateful to be
working with your Meetings and Worship groups across California and Nevada in
discerning how to continue supporting youth and intergenerational community
into the future. Please make sure your Meeting or Worship Group has received
the set of queries we emailed to clerks and representatives in November for you
to collectively consider and respond to by February 1st (email responses to
Lanny Jay, Redwood Forest, landbird@comcast.net). Online at:
http://www.pacificyearlymeeting.org/2012/pym-docs/ypc/evaluation-queries-nov2012/.
Meanwhile, we have conducted two focus groups with teens
and FAPs (one at each Fall Quarterly Meeting) to evaluate our program, and we
are interviewing a number of individual Friends. As always, we welcome your
ideas, so feel free to send them to me or your favorite, friendly neighborhood
Youth Program Committee member, including Cara Arcuni, Elizabeth Boardman,
Clare Griese, Lanny Jay, Mary Klein, Steve Leeds, Jim Summers, Kate Watkins
(Clerk), and Nathan Walker.
In this season of reflection, I recommend you to further
reading about our program. To learn more about our accomplishments in the past
year, go to our July 2012 annual report at: http://
