What a relief

So it's not just seniors who have those exasperating senior moments. On the Young Friends' agenda at their recent General Meeting was an item to consider whether to work to become a Fairtrade church, only for them to be reminded that they already were and that the certificate was in their office! But there is a sequel. Young Friends questioned their own commitment and decided to monitor whether they were doing enough to promote Fairtrade. It's not enough, it seems, just to wake up and smell the coffee.
