Consent Agenda, Spring Sessions 2013
New York Yearly Meeting
Consent Agenda
Spring Sessions, April 6-7, 2013
The items below are for Friends’ consideration in preparation for Meeting for business on Sunday morning, April 7, when Friends will be asked whether we can act on the items without discussion. Prior to that time, Friends are asked to familiarize themselves with the Consent Agenda, to read the written material pertaining to each item, and to contact the named Friends with questions or concerns. General questions can be brought to the Yearly Meeting Clerk, Jeffrey Hitchcock. Any item brought to the Clerk with unresolved concerns will be removed from the consent agenda and at the Clerk’s discretion will be either sent back to the originating committee or brought to the Yearly Meeting for worshipful consideration.
