Annual Session

Baltimore Yearly Meeting

Baltimore Yearly Meeting welcomes you to our website. We hope that you will find all of the information about Baltimore Yearly Meeting and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) that you are looking for.

Baltimore Yearly Meeting is the regional organizing unit for the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in the area of central Pennsylvania, Maryland, parts of West Virginia, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. It is through membership in a Yearly Meeting that individual Quakers become connected with the larger Quaker movement worldwide. "In fellowship, in deep listening, in waiting worship, in commitment to each other, it richly rewards those who embrace the challenge of being a Yearly Meeting Friend." (2011 draft Faith and Practice)


The Yearly Meeting has begun to collect reports from Local Meetings as to their Spiritual State during 2012. The reports that have been received to date are available for review and the Spiritual State of the Yearly Meeting will be considered and accepted during Annual Session 2013 this summer.


Electronic version of the 2012 Draft Faith and Practice is now available for purchase online!

Quaker Spring

Saturday, June 30, 2012
Location: Olney Friends School
Description: Quaker Spring is a time for retreat and reflection, gathered under the guidance of the Inward Teacher. We will have Bible study in the mornings, followed by worship. The afternoons will be free for refreshment and recreation, or small group conversation, meetings for discernment, or healing prayer. In the evenings we will come together for worship and consideration of queries that have risen up out of the group. Accommodations are simple—dorm rooms at Olney Friends School, or camping on the grounds of the Stillwater Meeting House. The total cost is about $30-$50 per day. Children and families are welcome. Please register by May 24, so we can plan the children’s program. The registration form and more information can be found on our website: www.quakerspring.org. You can also e-mail questions to quakerspring@gmail.com or contact Deborah Haines, Registrar. (deborah.haines@gmail.com)
