After a thoughtful and moving two hour meeting concerning our feelings about, and an exploration of various possible responses to, the war in Afghanistan and other future developments, we came to the following decisions:
Minute: Hamilton Monthly Meeting asks Nominating Committee to consider and propose three names, to form a group who would go to Ottawa, to deliver our concerns as Quakers about the war in Afghanistan and possible future developments, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The substance of the content of the message would have been generated by meeting as a whole, but they also would be empowered by meeting to speak from the spirit.
Minute: Responses at the local level were also discussed, and will be collected by Rex Barger, Ruth and Reuven Kitai, who will thresh them further and bring them to M4W4B when possible.
Discussion of content of the message is available on the Intranet site.
