Hi Sabrina, & Peter,

Greetings from the SF Bay Area. Am seeking to attend the 8:15 am Multnomah Monthly Meeting tomorrow, as well as the MMM September Business Meeting at 12:15. 

I know Peter from attending Multnomah Friends' Meeting from 1979 and in the first half of the 1980s while a student at Reed College, and after graduating. I also was active in a little Quaker Meeting in Munich Germany during a year I studied there through a Lewis and Clark - Reed College program, 1981-1982. I became a member of the RSOF in Scotland at Central Edinburgh Quaker Meeting - https://www.quaker.scot - while studying at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, in 2004. 

Am growing as a Friendly Quaker leading free-to-students' World University and School, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages and which is wiki too (planned for all 7,159 living languages as wiki schools), and planned in each of all 200 countries as major world class research and teaching universities, coming into conversation with Friends' education, schools & colleges. 

Thanks for the Hearthkeeping missives. Looking forward to possibly connecting in online Quaker Meeting with you.

Friendly regards,
Scott

Sabrina, & Peter, all, 

I wont be attending these online Multnomah Monthly Meeting Quaker Meetings after all, as a possible US federal investigation develops into international organized crime activity in Quaker Meetings, and as a loud whistleblower  about SF friends meeting much in 2017 and in sf friends meeting and PYM especially ... with for example bob kovsky, a mit & uc berkeley law alum, inviting me up to Skyline drive in Oakland on behalf of ministry and counsel at 
sf friends meeting and saying they were praying on kids tragically. 

How did Stanford & Uni of Oregon law school alum Friend Jerry Gabay die?

Friendly NtF Quaker greetings, Yogically, fondly, warm regards, abolitionally, Scott

Hi Peter, (and Sabrina),


Thanks for your email - I decided to attend the 8:15 Silent Quaker Meeting as a consequence. Yes, I"m well (and alive ... in growing World Univ & Sch and an abolition movement as well ... with a gunshot to vehicle on M May 18, 2026 in the Oakland hills near the chabot space and science center, and 5 tesla-company related death threats earlier this year, and a murderous run through attempt of me sadly in April 2023, while in asylum in Pittsburgh from a craven psychopath French-Swiss epfl / Lebanese soldier??? cmu undergrad at the time, frederic khayat, eventually receiving US social security checks ...and the murder word spoken to me in a chase bank shadyside pittsburgh in March of 2024 by vp shauna mcnally ... all leading me to inquire about international organized crime playing a role in these) ... and after whistle blowing loudly about the sf quaker meeting in 2017 ... they also hadn't done background checks on first day school teachers for one, breaking the law here too ... and re bob kovsky's ministry and counsel invitation to meet him in the oakland hills, I find it tragic that he and others on ministry and counsel committee were preying on kids in the sf friends' meeting. And what role did alice sowaal and networks play in some of the above, after fleeing for me life to the eastern seaboard and re the death threats and attempts there, and re preying on kids in the sf quaker meeting as well? Will let the US federal government and state of California and county law,and with information technologies, follow up on this.

So, or but, yes, alive and well ... Seems like Multnomah Monthly Meeting is doing well too from what I discerned. 

Good to go to Meeting. My laptop battery is running but may explore singing and Meeting for Business.

Friendly regards, best wishes, Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga), thanks, 
Scott

Dear Peter, Sabrina , and All, 

Just shared this with Peter and Hearthkeeper (hearthkeeper@multnomahfriends.org) before the 8;15 am Quaker Meeting online in the Q s. Greetings from MMM Quaker Meeting for Business online - and, Sabrina, did I hear Holly Freewynn, your mother, passed away? My deepest condolences if this is the case. 

Am attending Multnomah Monthly Meeting Quaker Meeting for Business presently, and there's discussion of child safety and Meeting childcare workers, regarding background checks. And see my note to Peter and Sabrina earlier today (which I've edited a bit) in the Qs about SF Quaker Meeting, and not doing background checks which is law, whereas it isn't in Oregon for unlicensed Churches and Meetings I think. 

I searched for Oregon law in these regards, and see the PS, and California law in these regards, and it's different, and see the PPS. 

Friendly regards, 
Scott

Hi Peter, (and Sabrina),

Thanks for your email - I decided to attend the 8:15 Silent Quaker Meeting as a consequence. Yes, I"m well (and alive ... in growing World Univ & Sch and an abolition movement as well ... with a gunshot to vehicle on M May 18, 2026 in the Oakland hills near the chabot space / spaceX and science center, and 5 tesla-company related death threats earlier this year, and a murderous run through attempt of me sadly in April 2023, while in asylum in Pittsburgh, from a craven psychopath French-Swiss epfl / Lebanese soldier??? cmu undergrad at the time, frederic khayat, eventually receiving US social security checks ...and the murder word spoken to me in a chase bank shadyside pittsburgh in March of 2024 by vp shauna mcnally ... all leading me to inquire about international organized crime playing a role in these) ... and after whistle blowing loudly about the sf quaker meeting in 2017 ... sf friends' meeting also hadn't done background checks on first day school teachers for one, breaking the law here too ... and regarding bob kovsky's ministry and counsel invitation to meet him in the oakland hills, at now skyline gate park, I find it tragic that he and others on ministry and counsel committee were preying on kids in the sf friends' meeting, since he told me about his erotic fantasies for pulling his pants down, for example. And was this recorded even? And what role did alice sowaal and networks play in some of the above, after fleeing for my life due to death threats to the eastern seaboard departing the SF Bay Area on July 31, 2023, and re the death threats, and death attempts on both coasts,, and re preying on kids in the sf quaker meeting as well? Will let the US federal government and state of California and county law,and with information technologies, follow up on this.

So, or but, yes, alive, and well ... Seems like Multnomah Monthly Meeting is doing well too from what I discerned re the 8:15 Quaker Meeting (but was that even staged in a film like format, I asked myself afterward?). 

Good to have gone to Meeting. My laptop battery is running low but may explore singing and Meeting for Business.

PPS

Does Oregon law require church childcare givers to have background checks?

Yes, Oregon law does require background checks for childcare givers in certain church settings, but it depends entirely on whether the program is officially licensed or legally exempt. [1, 2]
The Bottom Line
  • Licensed church programs (like daycares or preschools): Yes. Any staff member, employee, or regular volunteer working in a licensed facility must pass a comprehensive background check and enroll in Oregon's Central Background Registry (CBR) managed by the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC). [1, 2]
  • Standard, unlicensed Sunday services or short-term programs: Generally no state mandate for generic weekly Sunday school classes if they don't operate as a regular, certified child care facility. However, most denominations and insurance policies require them anyway, and the state encourages screening for child safety. [1]
How Oregon Rules Apply to Churches
Licensed & Certified Programs: If your church runs a commercial daycare, preschool, or after-school program, it falls under state childcare licensing. Oregon law mandates that all staff, operators, and volunteers with unsupervised access must complete FBI fingerprinting and criminal history checks via the Central Background Registry (CBR) before starting.
Check out the Protect My Ministry Guide for a broader look at non-profit and volunteer screening standards. [1]
Is this for a regular Sunday school class or a licensed daycare/preschool?





PPPS

Does California law require church childcare givers to have background checks?

Yes, California law does require background checks for individuals working or volunteering with children in churches. [1, 2]
Under Assembly Bill 506 (AB 506), any youth service organization—which explicitly includes houses of worship—must follow strict safety mandates for staff and regular volunteers. [1, 2]
Core Requirements Under AB 506
  • Live Scan Fingerprinting: All administrators, employees, and regular volunteers who have direct contact with children must undergo a fingerprint-based background check via the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI. Simple name-based checks do not count. [1, 2]
  • Who It Applies To: Anyone 18 or older who has direct contact with minors for more than 16 hours in a month or 32 hours in a year. [1]
  • Mandated Reporter Training: Staff and regular volunteers must complete training on identifying and reporting child abuse and neglect (often fulfilled via the California Department of Social Services online training). [1, 2]
  • Safety Policies: Churches must enforce child abuse prevention protocols, including a "two-adult rule" ensuring at least two screened and trained adults are present whenever children are supervised. [1, 2]
Recent Updates to Keep in Mind
CalVECHS Enrollment: The California DOJ requires churches already complying with AB 506 to enroll in the state’s CalVECHS background check system.
You can read more details about these requirements through Ministry Pacific's AB 506 Guide or review updates on the CalVECHS mandate. [1, 2]

What can GLP-1 drugs teach us about aging?
 
In this video, I share new NIH-funded research showing that semaglutide, a GLP-1 medication, extended lifespan and improved several measures of health in older mice. While more research is needed to understand what these findings could mean for people, the study offers intriguing insights into the biology of aging.
