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?
