NYYM's Faith and Practice states, "The meeting for worship with a concern for business provides an opportunity for consideration of individual concerns. The meeting may choose to act corporately on such concerns…When an individual lays a concern before a meeting, much depends upon the degree of the concern and the care that Friend takes in advance to develop the idea by prayerful consideration and by testing it in conversation with other Friends."
The clerk invites Friends who are led to bring a concern before the meeting to contact him first at NYQMClerk@nycquakers.org so that it may be added to the agenda.
