a readiness to hold ourselves accountable to others.
this brilliant post contains a very simple requirement:
as I read about accountability I think back over all the explosive divisive conflicts I’ve had:
- With Tracey Drais at Madre Grande Monastery in 2001
- just 3 months after that at Ganas IC in New York.
- at the Church of Scientology in Tampa, FL in 2008
- at Caper’s restaurant in Kennesaw, GA
- and yes, at the Lake Worth (Palm Beach) friends meeting in 2023.
And only the Church of Scientology has processes in place to reform me and the other parties involved. At Ganas, the lady I was yelling at was really nice to me afterwards and I wrote an email to them saying “Ganas is a mature community”. Tracey Drais still hates my guts. Dont know about the waiter at Caper’s. And I’m not sure about John Palozzi at Palm Beach Quakers.
