It would be different from someone's own personal PayPal account; different from the plea of "Help me get to such-and-so-event; click here to donate..."<BR/><BR/>I think I'm thinking of this because one Friend in our worship group wanted financial help to attend an FGC event, if Way were open. A number of us commented that if she were clear to travel, we would help make it happen, given the type of event it was (the <A HREF="http://www.fgcquaker.org/2008-religious-educators-institute-out-living-silence" REL="nofollow">Religious Education Institute</A>) and the needs of the worship group (greater intention towards First Day School). <BR/><BR/>The question of how Friends involved in the Convergent conversation might support Friends so they can attend Convergent events in order to bring new Light into the Quakersphere still lingers with me...<BR/><BR/><B>Ceal</B> -<BR/><BR/>Oooh, sounds like it could work! ...I was so glad to have seen you and Mark at North Carolina Conservative sessions, too.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>LizLiz Opphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802348848085930901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10737238.post-15742695229488395842008-07-25T08:49:00.000-05:002008-07-25T08:49:00.000-05:00Max planned this on the same weekend as the last r...Max planned this on the same weekend as the last retreat for this session of the School of the Spirit. So I will be in Durham, NC that weekend. But I am dangling this in front of my husband, Mark. If there is vacation time left, maybe he will want to go and we can arrange the trip together.<BR/><BR/>Ceal WutkaCeciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410639776476115620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10737238.post-50127835810473568802008-07-23T17:48:00.000-05:002008-07-23T17:48:00.000-05:00I've had the "who is the who-ha is that" response ...I've had the "who is the who-ha is that" response to a few "Convergent" calls to action. Even if he hasn't written in it much, at least Scott W has had a blog for years. This sounds like a particularly interesting event though I have no Quaker travel budget. I hope some QuakerQuaker bloggers do make it down (or some bloggers there become regular QuakerQuaker bloggers) so we can get a good report of proceedings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
