340 veerpontjes in Nederland. Grotendeels verouderd.
Wat begin jaren 90 door het rijk overgedragen werd aan de lokale overheid en nog steeds zorgt voor best belangrijke verbingingen.
Een aardige 'vernieuwing' zou kunnen zijn dat met een 5 tal versies een verduurzaamde inhaalslag gemaakt zou kunnen worden.

- Definite and distinct ecclesiastical government
This is explicitly defined in your legal documents. It's the way in which you "govern" things that are legally owned by the "church." If you're going to start a church with some people, you need to have a way of working together. The more formal you are about writing all this stuff out, the easier it will be when you *inevitably* have conflict. (Conflict is normal, so everyone should expect it.)
I also wrote something up about this. Again, it's an example (using the term "coven", because I like it more) so take it for what it's worth:
Group agreements are collectively defined rules that describe how members should interact. They may function to simplify interactions, ensure access needs are met, or to protect against the emergence of hierarchical behavior.
You can use the following prompts, or define your own:
- How should we interact with each other?
- What are your access needs?
- What would help you feel safe and respected?
- How should we deal with conflict?
- How do we deal with unanswerable questions?
- What is the process by which we update these agreements?
Write down these agreements. Edit them until you reach consensus. If it isn't possible to reach a consensus, the group may need to break apart to form separate covens.
Keep these available to refer to as they may be needed during services. These agreements will change over time. Keep them updated and be sure to check in regularly, perhaps even through a specific yearly ritual, to make sure they all still apply and no more are needed.

Tearing families apart, so concentration camps can profit, targeting non-criminal people following the correct legal processes is a recurring theme in our fascist USA

The suit is expected to return to the court on an official appeal, instead of emergency requests from drug manufacturers, in another term.
Medication accounts for approximately two-thirds of abortions in the US. In large part because of mailed medication, abortion rates have stayed steady in the US despite bans in several states.
Years of research have shown that abortion medications are safe and effective.
