- How can we use the Quaker decision-making process in Friends schools?

Tenets of the Quaker Decision-Making Process
- There is a spiritual energy in the world.
- We can access the spiritual energy to help guide us in the conduct of human affairs.
- When we choose to access this spiritual energy, life is more satisfactory – both for the individual and for the institution.
- There are attitudes, practices and skills that can facilitate this process.
For Friends school heads, trustees, division heads, faculty, committee and task force clerks.
