Mawazo juu ya Mchakato wa Quaker<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Kuna wanaoweza kusema kwamba uongozi wa Quaker ni oxymoron.<\/p>\n\n

Nilipohamia Washington, DC, nilianza kuhudhuria Mkutano wa Marafiki wa Washington, DC (FMW), ambapo niliona muundo wa aina ya uongozi, lakini sheria nyingi zilionekana kutozungumzwa na wakati mwingine kutumika kwa ulegevu. Wakati huo, karani wa mkutano huo alikuwa mwanamke mzee ambaye alizungumza kwa upole na kuongoza mikutano ya ibada kwa ajili ya biashara kwa njia isiyo na uwazi, lakini kazi zote zilifanywa. Nikawa mwanachama wa mkutano na kushiriki katika kamati na mikutano ya biashara. Nilichambua mchakato na kudhani nimeelewa mfumo. <\/p>\n\n

Hivyo ndivyo wanasheria hufanya: kuchambua mifumo na kuona jinsi inavyofanya kazi. Nilijua aina tofauti za uongozi na maamuzi. Nilijua Kanuni za Utaratibu za Robert. Pia nilikuwa na bidii katika kazi ya harakati, kwa hiyo nilielewa maamuzi ya makubaliano katika mazingira ya kilimwengu. Lakini katika FMW, Marafiki walizungumza juu ya ”hisia ya mkutano,” ambayo nilielewa ilifikiwa kupitia makubaliano. Lakini hapo nilikuwa nimekosea, na hivi ndivyo nilivyogundua jinsi nilivyokosea. <\/p>\n\n

Rafiki yangu ambaye alikuwa sehemu ya kwaya ya wanawake aliniomba upendeleo. Waimbaji hao walikuwa kwenye mzozo mkali kuhusu ikiwa wote wanapaswa kuvaa suruali au sketi kwa ajili ya maonyesho au waache washiriki wachague mmoja mmoja. Kujaribu kufikia makubaliano, walikuwa katika mkwamo kabisa. ”Wewe ni Quaker,” alisema, ”kwa hivyo unaelewa makubaliano. Je, ungeweza kuja kwenye mkutano wetu unaofuata na utusaidie kuondokana na msukosuko huu?” <\/p>\n\n

Nilijibu kwamba nilikuwa Quaker mpya na sikuhisi kustahili, lakini ningemwomba karani, \u201cRafiki mzito\u201d (kama Marafiki fulani wangesema), ikiwa angekuja. Nilipomkaribia, alionekana kushangaa. ”Sielewi makubaliano, kwa kuwa Marafiki hutafuta hisia za mkutano wakiongozwa na Roho, lakini ikiwa unafikiri ningeweza kukusaidia, nitaenda nawe.” <\/p>\n\n

Kwa hivyo tulienda kwenye mkutano wa wanakwaya. Kwanza karani huyo alieleza kwamba Waquaker hutafuta maana ya mkutano huo, ambao ni sawa na lakini si sawa na makubaliano kwa kuwa unategemea mchakato wa kiroho unaoonyeshwa na kusikiliza kwa kina na mwongozo wa Mungu. Kisha akashiriki uelewa wake wa mchakato wa Quaker: Kila mwanachama kwanza anajitolea kuja kufanya maamuzi kwa moyo na akili iliyo wazi na utayari wa kusikiliza. Kisha, kila mtu anapewa fursa ya kuzungumza juu ya mwelekeo ambao kikundi kinapaswa kuchukua. Na hatimaye, aliongeza, jambo muhimu zaidi ni kuamini mchakato na si kushikamana na maono yako ya nini kifanyike. Hakuna heshima kwa kuzuia uamuzi wa mwisho ili kupata njia yako. Marafiki wanaamini kwamba \u201ckusimama kando\u201d\u2014sio kubadilisha msimamo wako bali kuruhusu kikundi kusonga mbele\u2014ni chombo cha thamani. <\/p>\n\n

Alipomaliza kuzungumza, tulizungumza kidogo na kuwaacha wanakwaya waendelee na shughuli zao.<\/p>\n\n

Niligundua baadaye kwamba kila mtu alikiri kwamba hakuna hata mmoja wao ambaye alikuwa tayari kuchukua njia hiyo, kwamba ilikuwa ni dhabihu kubwa sana kutoa mapendekezo yao, na, bila kuweza kutatua mzozo wao, chorus ilivunjika. Ikiwa wanajamii wataweka mahitaji yao binafsi na matakwa yao juu ya yale ya kikundi, matokeo yanaweza kumaanisha mwisho wa jumuiya hiyo. Matokeo haya yanaweza kuwa ya kweli iwapo Roho atashauriwa au la wakati wa mchakato. <\/p>\n\n

Nilipoendelea kujihusisha na FMW, nilijifunza masomo zaidi kuhusu mwongozo unaoongozwa na Roho kutoka kwa Marafiki. Hizi zilikuwa fupi lakini bado zenye thamani. Katikati ya mkutano wa biashara uliojadili ufanisi wa chaguzi mbalimbali, Rafiki mmoja mzee alisimama na kusema, ”Wewe si karani wa kamati ya matokeo. Mungu ndiye.” Na kisha akaketi. Mara nyingi mimi hufikiria hekima hiyo wakati Marafiki wanajali zaidi gharama kuliko uaminifu, kama vile kufanya biashara na Amazon au chaguzi zingine za bei ghali, bila kujali mazoea yao ya kutiliwa shaka. <\/p>\n\n

Muda fulani baadaye, mkutano ulikuwa na mzozo kuhusu wakati ambapo ndoa zilistahili kuwa chini ya uangalizi wetu. Rafiki ambaye alikuwa amehamia umbali wa maili elfu moja kutoka Washington na alihudhuria tu mkutano wake wa karibu hakuomba kuolewa chini ya uangalizi wa FMW. Nilihoji kama ingefaa kwa mkutano huo kukubaliana kutokana na uhusiano wake wa kudumu na Marafiki na hasa mkutano wetu; kwangu, kukubaliana kungefanya maneno \u201cchini ya uangalizi wetu\u201d kutokuwa na maana. Nilikuwa peke yangu katika wasiwasi wangu lakini wazi juu yake. Kesi hiyo ilidumu kwa mwezi mmoja. <\/p>\n\n

Wakati huohuo, nilikutana na Halmashauri ya Ndoa na Familia, ambayo ilionekana wazi kwamba utunzaji wa muda mrefu uliwezekana. Kufikia mkutano uliofuata wa biashara, wasiwasi wangu ulikuwa bado. Rafiki mkubwa alisema, \u201cJE, najua ni vigumu kusimama kando unapokuwa wazi, lakini mkutano pia uko wazi. Nilisimama kando. <\/p>\n\n

Mzozo ulizidi katika FMW kuhusu vyama vya jinsia moja. Ilijadiliwa mwezi baada ya mwezi, huku Marafiki wengi wakiwa na uzito. Hisia zilikuwa mbichi. Baadhi walihisi kuwa walikuwa wakiombwa kusaliti imani yao, na wengine walihisi hawakuchukuliwa kama washiriki sawa wa mkutano. Lakini miezi iliposonga mbele, mkutano huo pia. Hakukuwa na mwanga wa kupofusha au matoazi yanayogongana. Marafiki wengi hawakuwa wamehama hata inchi katika imani yao, lakini mkutano kwa ujumla (siwezi kuuelezea kwa njia nyingine yoyote) uliendelea na kuanza kupona. <\/p>\n\n

Kuna msemo wa kawaida: ”Ongoza; fuata; au ondoka njiani.” Mchakato wa Quaker ni jinsi tunavyoongoza; kufuata; au ondokeni, tukitengeneza nafasi kwa Nuru kutuongoza. Hiyo ndiyo siri ya kweli ya kufanya maamuzi ya Quaker. Sisi Marafiki tunazungumza na kusikiliza katika ukimya na kwa kila mmoja na kuchambua na kuunda. Lakini hatimaye Nuru inaongoza: sio rahisi kufuata kila wakati, wakati mwingine ni ngumu kuona na kuelewa, lakini hutuongoza katika mwelekeo sahihi. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
