As nothing of the meeting is for “members only,” what is the significance of becoming a member and how is it done?
Membership is an outward sign of one's personal involvement with others in the Meeting; of a commitment to the sharing of loving care and responsibility with and for the Meeting.
When a person finds affirmative answers to the following kinds of questions, he/she/they may contact the clerk of Care and Counsel, who will provide guidance on the simple membership procedure:
Has the Meeting for Worship in silence become an essential part of my life?
How do I respond to the challenges of the Quaker
Am I prepared to take on one of the jobs which are essential to a group that has no paid clerk or helpers?
Am I willing to be a friend, in the broadest sense of the word, to other people in the Meeting?
The one question that attenders are encouraged to avoid asking is, “Am I good enough to be a Quaker?”
In order to access support or request a Clearness Committee for Membership, please reach out to any member of Care and Counsel at: info@abqfriends.org
