There will not b e a program or presentation. We will start at 1:00pm and expect to finish no later than 2:30. We may finish earlier\, depending upon how the Spirit leads us. There are three items on the agenda.\nAgenda Items Information\ n\nGermantown Monthly Meeting Minute on Climate Change\nGermantown Meeting in May approved a minute advocating for use of the term "impending climat e catastrophe" in place of the term "climate change" in Friends' communica tions. Germantown Meeting would like PQM to consider a draft minute which we would send to Philadelphia Yearly Meeting\, asking PYM also to take up use of the term "impending climate catastrophe."\nThe draft minute is avai lable at this link.\nPYM Policy on Advocacy\nPhiladelphia Yearly Meeting's Administrative Council approved a new policy in May 2022 about advocacy. The Yearly Meeting posted an explanation and discussion of this policy on its website and offered an information session on June 1.\n\nAt the July 17 session of PQM\, we will take up the suggestion to hold a program for PQM Friends in September to help us understand this policy better and unde rstand how it does and does not affect what we do.  We anticipate invitin g a member of the Administrative Council or a PYM staff member to present at this proposed program. Some Friends think this will be a topic of disc ussion at the upcoming PYM Annual Session. The agenda for business meeting s is not published yet\, but regardless\, the September timeframe for an i nformation session will allow us to incorporate any new insights Friends g ain at annual session.\nThe Advocacy Policy and video from June 1 availabl e at this link.\nNominating\nBringing forward a nominee\, for service as P QM Treasurer.\n\nJoin us as we consider Climate change\, Advocacy\, and a new Treasurer.\n\nRegister for the zoom link to the July 17\, 2022 Philade lphia Quarterly Meeting \n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://philadelphiaquarter.org/wp-content/uploa ds/2023/06/pexels-joao-jesus-2480075_0.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2@philadelphiaquarter.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220908T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220908T203000 DTSTAMP:20220917T110208Z URL:https://philadelphiaquarter.org/events/the-sankofa-path-healing-from-t he-traumas-of-racism/ SUMMARY:The Sankofa Path: Healing from the Traumas of Racism DESCRIPTION:The Sankofa Path: Healing from the Traumas of Racism\n\nSeptemb er 8 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm                   $150\n\n\n\n\ n\n\nAn online series with Erva Baden for Black women in the U.S. to explo re healing from the traumas of racism. \n\nThe Sankofa Path online worksh op provides an opportunity for folks who self-identify as US-Born African- American/Black Women to uncover what effects of intergenerational trauma m ight be lingering in our bodies\, minds\, and spirits and to begin the dee p healing necessary to reclaim all aspects of our radiance.\n\n\nDetails\n \n Date: September 8 \n Time:7:00 pm - 8:30 pm\n Cost: $150\n Website: https://pendlehill.org/events/the-sankofa-path-healing-from-the-traumas-of -racism-3/\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n Zoom\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n Phone: 610-566-450 7\n Email:info@pendlehill.org\n View Organizer Website\n\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://philadelphiaquarter.org/wp-content/uploa ds/2022/08/Leaves.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6@philadelphiaquarter.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221023T160000 DTSTAMP:20230620T022618Z URL:https://philadelphiaquarter.org/events/spreading-the-fire-of-fearlessl y-faithful-friends-through-modern-media-with-jon-watts/ SUMMARY:Spreading the fire of fearlessly faithful Friends through modern me dia with Jon Watts DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nRegister to Join us as we consider with Jon Watts:\nHow d o we use modern communication technology to publish the Quaker message tod ay - in a relevant way?\nFor 15 years\, Jon Watts has been carrying a conc ern for the role of Friends in the 21st century\, specifically with regard to the internet.
