[ChatAction] Global scale study circles

[Karen Ball]

As I read through this, I have a question regarding the "study circles".
Does anyone see parallels to how indigenous communities and Quakers handle
decision making?  Perhaps, we should reach out to indigenous communities
and the Quakers; they could guide us in discernment of how the Universal
Spirit may be collectively calling us.  I suggest Parker Palmer and the
Center for Courage and Renewal would be great partners to our Chat Action
efforts.

Peace,
Karen
