[Magdalen] Private-ish repository for vestry documents?

[Lynn Ronkainen]

At my former, fairly large parish, any member in good standing could come in 
and read the vestry minutes in the office at church - not get copies. I 
think that is the best mode.... even posted on the internet, the MS snipping 
tool can remove/copy and print it anywhere.  I don't see any problem with 
someone having to make/take a bit of an effort to read vestry minutes, 
therefore I never though it necessary to be conveniently accessible.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
