FUM Policy Concern
Centre Quarterly Meeting affirms with the Gospel of John that the true
light of Christ is the true light that enlightens everyone. We also affirm that gay and lesbian Friends within Baltimore Yearly Meeting and within many of its constituent monthly meetings have truly exercised their gifts for the building up of our spiritual communities. We endorse the policy of the Baltimore Yearly Meeting Search and Nominating Committee to seek Friends for leadership roles by discerning whether they possess the appropriate spiritual depth, clerking skills, and caring natures, regardless of sexual orientation. The constituent monthly meetings of Centre Quarterly Meeting welcome all children of God to worship with us and to contribute to our communities in accordance with their gifts, without regard to their sexual orientation.
