Thanks Friends and friends. I've not been to Meeting for a while now. I was going to say why, but who knows who sees what is written here. After a while, it was not that reason, but that no-one from my own Meeting got in touch to see what the problem was, even though we have overseers whose duty it is (and it is simply an Englishisation of episcop(don't know the ending), or bishop). Anyway, this oversight continued after a hint that I needed to talk something out, and it was easier not to go.

This thread has shown me that a failing of one Meeting (not my own) is not a failing of the whole - none of them were in the KKK - so I feel drawn back again.

Thanks again,

Penny
