Strawberry Creek Nominating Process

This process, also known as the Strawberry Creek Method, has been adopted by a number of meetings as a helpful way to discern the gifts that members and attenders bring to committee work. This process is exceptionally useful when the committee is having some trouble with a particular position, but is not always practical for filling every position. Information about the process can be found in Spiritual Discernment within the Nominating Process by Perry Treadwell, most recently printed in the October 2005 edition of Friends Journal . The text can also be found here.
