Together with every other organization and community across the globe, Durham Friends Meeting is faced with questions about what to do with the threat of possible Coronavirus infection in our midst.\u00a0 Some of the answers will have to be made together, and others are for each individual or family to answer on their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a worship community.  Gathering together is what we do.  We gather for worship, for prayer, for study,\nfor support, for fellowship and for fun. \nIn normal times, we gather strength from gathering together.  But in the current situation, we may do each\nother harm.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is likely to change.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be learning more about the risks and best approaches.\u00a0 We expect that the current situation will last at least until the end of May.\u00a0 Members of Ministry and Counsel, together with the Clerk, will monitor the situation and make decisions.\u00a0 We\u2019ll send out information on e-mail, and we\u2019ll try to see that those who do not receive e-mail receive phone calls.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the present, here is how we will\nproceed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
