The author combines two different frameworks of decision making: judgement aggregation and belief revision. First he recapitulates impossibility results for judgement aggregation functions and for postulates of revision functions (AGM postulates). In the following three sections a model is developed, which can be seen as a model of social belief change given an agenda of formulas. `Agents revise their own beliefs while collectively aiming for an agreement'. Such an agreement is possible `if the individuals are able and willing to revise their beliefs far enough'.
