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. 

Conversations with the Other

Friday, June 1, 2018
7:00 pm9:00 pm
Friends Meeting of Washington (Washington, DC)

Our political system is broken. So many events and groups have forced us into unconnected silos so we no longer function as a community. Some were created out of a naïve sense of making strong communities by helping those with things in common to connect. Some were created with merely commercial interests. But some were created with malicious intent. Besides the purely political work that needs to be done, there is more: we must work to bring our country back to a broader consensus. We will never all agree on all things but we must get back to a place where we can work together. This workshop will explore interactively one path toward that goal of learning how to communicate better with people with whom we disagree. The program will begin at 7:00pm.
