About this Meetinghouse. 
About this place of worship and of fellowship among seekers. 
There were concerns nearly thirty years ago about the wisdom of acquiring this place.  There have been concerns from time to time since then about its care and sustainability – and now is one of those times.  The life of a structure is like a human life in this sense: dust to dust – but what a miraculous, marvelous time in between, with travails and joys, loneliness and moments of ecstasy.  This building has seen much and served well in the approximately ninety years since it was built by seekers in this neighborhood.  We should sustain it so long as it well serves the spiritual life of this Friends’ Meeting – its members, their families, and visitors – and no longer.
The right way will appear.
