Healing and Reconciliation Committee

Printer-friendly version

The Healing and Reconciliation Committee consists of one group of persons, “hands on” members, to respond immediately to limit any disruptions in Meeting for Worship and to follow up after an incident by active listening to the disruptive person and by active and concerned listening to persons most adversely affected by the disruption. The committee also includes a second group, “resource” persons, who provide support and expertise to the “hands on” committee members. Resource persons are chosen to have special skills and training or experience that is helpful to the “hands on” persons. Some may be professional counselors and others “well-seasoned” and “weighty” Friends. The Healing and Reconciliation Committee is not empowered to take actions changing the relationship of any individual to the Meeting (for example. limitations on participation in worship or other Meeting activities) but may make recommendations to the Meeting for Worship with a Concern for Business if such actions are deemed to be needed.
