It is unlikely that the work of the central committees, as described here, will remain unchanged for the next generation. The existence and basic functions of Quaker Life and Quaker Peace & Social Witness may not be altered except with the approval of Yearly Meeting (8.04) but the more detailed outline of the work of the committees described below may change more frequently according to the emphasis given by Meeting for Sufferings, the Britain Yearly Meeting Trustees and the central committees.
The Quaker Peace & Social Witness meeting correspondents
Local meeting correspondents (4.33.m) receive and distribute news of the work of Britain Yearly Meeting by keeping in touch with Quaker Peace & Social Witness Central Committee. It is equally important that correspondents send local news to Friends and others elsewhere through these central channels: communication is a two-way process.
Correspondents will receive regular mailings. Quaker Communications will provide advice on how to select and present relevant information effectively. The correspondent should agree a working method with the local meeting clerk.
The local meeting clerk or convener should send the name of the correspondent, upon appointment, to Quaker Peace & Social Witness Central Committee.
