Facts About Friends(Quakers) #24

Meeting for Clearness

A ‘meeting for clearness’ can be called to focus on a particular issue, to enable members of the meeting to become ‘clear’ about possible options and ways forward.
They can be held, for example: to prepare a couple for a marriage under the care of the meeting; to ‘test’ a concern of the meeting; to make decisions about an application for membership; to seek guidance at times of change or difficulty.
Meetings for clearness can also be of help and comfort to Friends who are confronted with difficult choices at turning points in their lives and to those that are ill.
