Are you wondering how to think about support and accountability for #Quaker #TravelingMinistry or #PublicMinistry within your local #QuakerMeeting context? One thing you can do is ask to discern a #TravelMinute. Pictured is one issued to my family for a trip, with a response. Ask me about it.

My local (unprogrammed and liberal) #Quaker meeting recently created a way for #PublicMinisters (also sometimes called #TravelingMinisters or #PublicFriends) to be financially supported through tax-deductible donations! Talk to me if this is an idea you would like your #QuakerMeeting to take up.
