Welcome to Baltimore Yearly Meeting!
Baltimore Yearly Meeting builds and nurtures a strong and vibrant Quaker community across the 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.
The Announcements are posted every Friday. Click here to see the most current set.

Join BYM's Reparations Action Working Group for a workshop to help Friends prepare for a reparations proposal coming forward at BYM Annual Sessions.
Information about services from the Yearly Meeting available for our local Meetings and worshiping communities is listed here.
The BYM Women’s Retreat will be held in a new location in 2016.: Pearlstone Retreat Center in Reisterstown, MD, is about 45 minutes west of Baltimore and an hour from Washington. The Pearlstone location offers a number of benefits, especially in relation to accessibility and safety (covered walkways, elevators, etc.), as well as comfortable accommodations, plenty of meeting rooms, and excellent food. Scholarships will be available. Stay tuned for additional details! (For those of you who are wondering about Skycroft Conference Center where the Women’s Retreat was held since 2010, costs there increased 35%, prompting the search for a new location.) Come to Pearlstone on January 29-31, 2016, and see for yourself!
