Handbook

The daily work of building a welcoming community within the Atlanta Friends Meeting is shared by all who attend and are willing to take responsibility.

We want to make it  easy for the first time attender as well as the seasoned member to understand how staff, meeting officers, committees and the meeting’s representatives work together to build and improve our Meeting.

While Friends simply help each other do much of the work in this meeting, the handbook is a collection of position descriptions for the primary responsibilities recognized and currently approved by the Atlanta Monthly Meeting.  Those who choose to serve the Meeting in any of the positions listed here accept the  charge from the Meeting to carry out the responsibilities as described.

Updated & Added Handbook Sections

The various sections of the AFM Handbook are regularly reviewed and amended as need arises. Updated or Added sections will be posted below as they are approved by consensus, then periodically compiled and indexed into the primary Handbook publication. The section updates are listed in most recent to oldest order. These supersede prior versions, so please observe the approval dates noted on the links.
