Area Meeting

 And today we're off to Seaford- on the far side of Beachy Head- for the Sussex East Area Meeting. SEAM for short- an acronym with unexplored potential. 

Seaford Quakers don't have a house of their own but meet in The Little Theatre- a building I'm curious to see the insides of. Elisa will drive and we're providing a pic-nic. 

When I started out in Quakerism I had no concern except for our own Eastbourne Meeting, but as time goes by I find my loyalties expanding. Now I also care about Sussex East. If this process continues I may eventually find myself caring about Quakerism on the national and even international level....

I don't feel evangelical about Quakerism, but do think we have something to offer- a tradition and an ethos- and should be trying to remain a Presence. And to remain a Presence there need to be a reasonable number of us, operating out of identifiable premises. 

Please, Friends, let's not retreat any further!

Southall meeting were invited to use the local Sikh Gurudawara on a weeknight which worked extremely well.
