Committee Web Pages
Since Newtown Monthly Meeting has no professional, paid staff, the life of
the meeting depends on voluntary involvement and commitment. The Meeting's
committees ensure the continuity of the Spiritual, as well as the
Operational, goals of the meeting.
Each of the Meeting's Committees can add specific pages to the web site.
Please contact the "Web Clerk" (web @ newtownfriendsmeeting . org)
if you'd like to add something. |

Climate Action Item for March, 2007 CLIMATE CHANGE, ENERGY,
AND THE PEACE TESTIMONY
Context: At Annual Session in March, PYM will continue its
focus on the Peace Testimony that began at a Called Session in
November. Since then, scientists have reported that climate
change is known to be occurring more rapidly than expected.
Furthermore, two of the nation's leading oil experts say they
believe the world has already reached "peak oil" production, and
that it will soon become impossible to supply as much oil as is
now being used.
Query: How does the prospect of turmoil and conflict due to
climate change and diminishing oil supplies affect our
understanding of living in the virtue of that life and power
that takes away the occasion for all wars?
The
minute recently approved by Monthly Meeting in response to a
request for discernment on issues concerning climate change.
An environmental sustainability
checklist.
