Lynn Fitz-Hugh on polar­iza­tion and con­flict with­in a Quak­er meeting:

But also being new to the Meet­ing it was very clear to me that the con­flict like some sort of bull doz­er was push­ing up to the light of day all the dark places, all the dys­func­tion­ing and bro­ken places in the Meet­ing. And it becomes increas­ing­ly clear that there is no way through this con­flict with­out fix­ing all the bro­ken places….which if we fail will leave us shat­tered and if we suc­ceed will make us stronger and vast­ly bet­ter as a community.
