Baltimore Yearly Meeting Committees

Baltimore Yearly Meeting is supported by a small staff, and a large number of volunteers: Friends with concerns, leadings, and the resolve to serve the membership. We organize ourselves into a variety of committees, both functional committees with a particular concern, and administrative committees charged with the work of the Yearly Meeting.

 

It is the duty of the functional committees to prepare position papers on matters of current interest and concern within their fields of interest and to present these position papers before the Yearly Meeting or the Interim Meeting for approval. To the extent possible the work of these committees is presented in the Interchange, our quarterly newsletter, and on these pages.

 

If you have a leading to serve the wider Quaker community the Nominating Committee, or any member of our Yearly Meeting is available to answer your questions.

"Our task is not to rewrite their books in modern language, it is to relive their experience and, by so doing, make it our own. Let your lives speak, the words must come out of the life.
