Greetings and best wishes for winter! I hope you, your family, your friends, and your Friends are all doing well; even in the face of some challenging times.
I began service as General Secretary on November 8, at Fall Continuing Sessions. It was a day of discernment, fellowship, and sinking down together in small groups in the afternoon workshop. It was a rewarding way to start!
Since then, I have been drinking at the firehose of information to ingest, technology to learn, and, most important, relationships to grow. In my first month, I have met with each staff member, the Presiding Clerk and clerks of our Councils, two sprints, the personnel and finance committees, and more.
To continue my learning journey, I will be visiting many monthly and quarterly meetings in the coming months. I am collaborating with staff to develop an outline for a listening session to help me learn how Spirit is moving in our Friends meetings and communities.
If you’d like to invite me to your meeting, whether for a listening session or just to have worship and fellowship together, please contact our executive administrator, Cecilia Filauro, at cfilauro@pym.org.
In peace and friendship,
Chris Mohr
