About the Blog Carnival
A blog Carnival is a opportunity for bloggers to write about a shared topic for a month. This month we're turning to a style of organizing that is emerging among some Friends.
There's been a newish DIY leadership ethos developing--much more cross-branch, collaborative. More willingness to talk about issues where there's not unity. There's been some loosening of the "silos" of Quaker bodies.

A lot of this ties into the generational leadership changes we've been seeing, but we're less interested in resume changes than the changes in organizing.
