Any social system in turn requires men and women in it of imagination and goodwill. What would be fatal would be for those with exceptional human insight and concern to concentrate on ministering to individuals, whilst those accepting responsibility for the design and management of organisations were left to become technocrats. What is important is that institutions and their administration be constantly tested against human values, and that those who are concerned about these values be prepared to grapple with the complex realities of modern society as it is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Grigor McClelland, 1976<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">QF&amp;P 23.47<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\n<hr>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"312\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-left-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/october-2022\/community-noticeboard-online-october-2022\/\">Previous Article<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right;\" width=\"312\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-right-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/october-2022\/meetings-for-worship-october-2022\/\">Next Article<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-up-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/october-2022\/\">Back to October 2022 Newsletter Main Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Forty-Three<\/em> Newsletter \u2022 Number 522 \u2022 October 2022<br \/>\n<\/strong>Oxford Friends Meeting<br \/>\n43 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LW<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"mailto:newsletter@oxfordquakers.org\">newsletter@oxfordquakers.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Copyright 2022, Oxford Quakers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous Article Next Article Back to October 2022 Newsletter Main Page Forty-Three Newsletter \u2022 Number 522 \u2022 October 2022 Oxford Friends Meeting 43 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LW newsletter@oxfordquakers.org Copyright 2022, Oxford Quakers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":0,"parent":3642,"menu_order":16,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3657","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-quaker-faith-and-practice"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/50"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3657"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3657\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3757,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3657\/revisions\/3757"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
