Concept for Service Six: A “Right of Appeal” exists to protect minority opinions, and to ensure that all viewpoints have been considered in the decision making process.
Why is it important to make sure all viewpoints are considered when making decisions about the group/meeting or district?
Does your group/meeting consider the minority opinion in its decision-making process? How so? If not, explain. How can this be remedied?
How does your group/meeting or district allow for a “right of appeal?” Have you ever been afraid to speak your conscience in service meetings? If so, why?
How do you know when it’s time to speak up against a decision of the majority? When it’s time to accept a decision and surrender to group conscience?
