Practical Peacemaking
As we travel to Lazy F, we will pass by people we don't quite agree with. If "there is that of God in everyone", these people are our neighbors too. How do we make peace with -- or even just talk with -- all our neighbors, not just the ones with whom we have easily-found common ground? Perhaps you have challenging relationships with family or co-workers or childhood friends with whom you disagree on closely held beliefs. Our hope for this session is that we will learn more about how to encounter ALL our neighbors with love, and build bridges where all we can see now are rifts. For some of us, this may be a new experience. For some of us, it is daily life.
We will hear from our F/friends living across the Quarterly Meeting about how they practice day-to-day peacemaking, no matter where they live or who they meet. Let us learn from one another.
HOSTED BY EASTSIDE AND SOUTH SEATTLE MEETINGS
PNQM Fall Quarterly Meeting September 23-25, 2022
On-site + Online Alternatives
Quarterly will be a mixture of physical presence at Lazy F, and online presence.
Plenary, business meeting, Friday Quaker Voice, and Saturday Community Night will include everybody in a "blended" fashion.
Worship Groups and Interest groups will run separate physical and online sessions in "parallel"; those present at Lazy F will be in one set of sessions, while those online will be in a separate set of sessions.
The childrens' programs and Junior Friends will only include those present at Lazy F.
Because of the physical+online nature of this event we separate out an "event fee" from the normal lodging+meals fee. The
event fee is charged to all event participants.
During registration you will indicate your desire to join us at Lazy F Camp, or participate online via Zoom. If part of your family will be at Lazy F and part will be online, please make two registrations. Be sure to register under a different email address for the second registration.
For more general information about Quarterly, including guidelines, children's program, and travel directions see the Program Information Booklet.
Pay As Led
As always, Quarterly will use a Pay As Led policy permitting people to pay more or less than the suggested amount, based upon their ability or needs.
Fees will increase by a small amount this Quarterly to offset the costs of COVID test kits.
Donations in excess of the registration cost of the session will go towards supporting Friends who are able to pay less. The remainder will go to the general fund for PNQM.
Accessibility
We continue to work to remove all accessibility constraints for both physical and online attendance at Quarterly Meeting. A committee is working to understand what barriers remain, and how they can be properly addressed.
If you have accessibility needs, concerns, or suggestions please address them to the co-registrars: registrar@pnqm.org. They will share your input with the accessibility committee,
and provide answers or thoughts from the committee.
You can also provide accessibility feedback here.
We will attempt to provide links to any presented reports and minutes on the pnqm.org/virtual online access page.
