An
A.A. business meeting can be disconcerting to those who are used to, and
expect, order. I am one of those who were adamant about Robert’s Rules of
Order. I don’t recommend business meeting for newcomers who are like me
concerning procedure. I don’t really know the Rules of Order but I relied on
those who did, when I was involved in politics, way back at another time in my
life. Though there is a certain amount
of structure to A.A. meetings, and even our business meetings, there can erupt some
disturbing and inappropriate interruptions because of who we are. Today, I find
humor in such meetings and relax a little due to the love and tolerance,
through osmosis, that infiltrated my heart. There are rarely the kinds of
people among us who know or care about rules of any kind, let alone the Rules
of Order. Humility allows me to accept, with tremendous love that we are here
at all, trying to make this fellowship work.
