Envisioning BYM
Now is the Time

  • How is the Light inspiring us? And how do we engage with that inspiration to bring it into the world?
  • How could we Friends best be of service to God and to our neighbor in the next few years?
  • What is the most important change that you would like to see the Yearly Meeting make?
  • What does your Monthly Meeting do so well that you’d like to share it with other Monthly Meetings?
  • What is the most interesting thing that a Yearly Meeting committee is doing right now? Why?
  • What would help me feel more engaged with my Monthly and Yearly Meeting? What could I do to engage more fully?

We in Baltimore Yearly Meeting know who we are in many ways by our experience: We are nurturing worship, we are clarifying ministry, we are creative yet orderly committee work, and we are supportive witness in the world. We are a network of relationships in which the Yearly Meeting and the Monthly Meetings spiritually enrich each other. Baltimore Yearly Meeting is its Faith and Practice, Monthly Meetings, committees, staff, programs, members, and you.

The spirit of Christ, which leads us into all Truth, will never move us to fight and war against any man with outward weapons, neither for the kingdom of Christ nor for the kingdoms of this world." -- Declaration to Charles II, 1661
