The Peace & Social Concerns Coordinator serves as a resource and linkage between BCMM and the larger community of Friends and others working on issues of social justice and peace. The Coordinator participates in the Multnomah Monthly Meeting Peace and Social Concerns Committee, assists BCMM attenders in identifying opportunities for service and advocacy, and facilitates consideration of social issues within the BCMM community.

Some of the major concerns which the Coordinator may be asked to monitor and address include: To work to overcome social, economic and political injustice through cooperation with existing organizations and/or committees already active in these fields, both inside and outside the Meeting. To keep Friends informed of opportunities to become involved. To encourage living the historic Quaker peace testimony in our daily lives.

The Coordinator will regularly bring specific events and items requiring action to the Meeting's attention through announcements, email messages, or requests for more formal action through Meeting for Business. From time to time, the Coordinator may identify an issue of substantial concern which merits full consideration by the Meeting and which may lead to establishment of a separate committee. Public action taken in the name of BCMM requires approval of the Meeting for Business.

• Participate regularly in the MMM Peace and Social Concerns Committee and assist BCMM attenders to be aware of and engage with MMM on issues of social concern.
• Monitor social and peace issues of current concern and share relevant information with BCMM attenders.
• Make regular reports to Meeting for Business. Clearly identify when action is needed by the Meeting, and when items are only for information. Keep in mind time frames, inform Meeting when prompt action is required, and take extra care to have background to answer questions available when timeliness is at issue.
• Organize Quaker dialogues or worship sharing on spiritual and historical roots of peace & social concern.
