CLERKING with JOY & CONFIDENCE with Barbara Babin and Friends ONLINE
March 3 to April 7, 2022 Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.
REGISTER HERE
Clerking with Joy and Confidence is for all Friends with an interest in Quaker process, meeting for business, and deepening their connection with the Divine. It is for current and aspiring presiding clerks, recording clerks, committee clerks, and everyone else who is holding the clerks and Friends discernment processes in the Light.
In this workshop we hope to support those currently serving as clerks and to inspire others to consider how they might take up leadership roles in their meetings and how they might lovingly support those growing into leadership roles. By drawing on the experiences of experienced clerks as well as sharing with one another in small groups, we will look at the real joys and challenges of clerking. Participants will receive practical strategies, resources, and tried-and-true processes that can help business meetings and committee meetings run more smoothly. Topics for the six sessions will include: What is clerking with joy and confidence? What do we mean by unity? Laying the groundwork for unity; Seeking unity together; When things go sideways; and new ways for these days.
