On this day many may be reminded of the verse "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34 NIV).

Monthly Meeting was held at Middleton on 2/12. The agenda included discussing the 6th Query. A "query" is read, pondered, and answered once in the year in each Monthly and Quarterly Meeting, in a deliberate and unhurried manner.
6th Query: Do we live in the life and power which takes away the occasion of all wars? Do we, on Christian principles, refuse to participate in or to cooperate with the military effort? Do we work actively for peace and the removal of the causes of war? Do we endeavor to cultivate good will, mutual understanding, and equal opportunities for all people?
Clerk Mary Alice Pino has emailed the minutes to members. We hope those who were not able to attend will offer insight into several questions in the email that will be discussed/considered next month.
