Amid the early summer heatwave, representatives who made it to Friends House for the July session of Meeting for Sufferings (MfS) were pleased to find a cool, air-conditioned Benjamin Lay room waiting for them. The welcome from clerk Robert Card was as warm as ever, however, and after opening worship, in which Quaker faith & practice 10.01 was read (‘Our life is love and peace’), Friends settled into the agenda.
