Greetings,
Friends! from the editor of Calon...
Welcome to the new look Calon which is now available here on the
internet. "Calon" is Welsh for "Heart".
We've chosen that name not only as a symbol of love and
warmth but also because we hope this newsletter will be a vital
organ for circulating news, ideas and fellowship around our
system!
So What do we need Calon for?
Calon is one way of providing communication between Friends in Wales.
From the feedback we've had in recent months we see that it
should play an important role in providing information about the
activities of Meeting of Friends in Wales as well as being a
journal of discussion. With our scattered membership and
travel issues, many cannot come along regularly to Meetings of
Friends in Wales and so lose that opportunity to make new
contacts and share and exchange news and insights.
We want Calon to reflect the 'Cynefin' of
Wales and for that we need you.
We need you to help us make Calon. All we
need is for you to consider what you want to see in it and to
consider how you could contribute to it. Perhaps your local
meeting or area meeting could consider appointing a
communications person or 'news hound': a scout who could forward
items of interest from local sources, local meetings, or from
the media.
**HERE is the latest edition of CALON **
