Baltimore Yearly Meeting builds and nurtures a strong and vibrant Quaker community across the southern Mid-Atlantic. We seek to build community, grow in the life of the spirit, discern right action, and bear witness in the world. BYM includes Quaker meetings in parts of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. The BYM Office, located in Sandy Spring, MD, provides technical support to local Quaker Meetings and opportunities for Quakers in our region to work, play, serve, learn, and grow spiritually together as Friends. 

Witches & Quakerism

Join FWC Board Member, Alan Swanson, as he explores how the widespread fear of witches was addressed by Quaker Community and others in Colonial times. Discussions will explore connections between the legal code of the times and treatment of people as influenced by belief and biases of the general population.
