Minute of Encouragement for
Philadelphia
Yearly Meeting
Baltimore Yearly Meeting, gathered for Yearly Meeting
sessions at James
Madison
University
in Harrisonburg
,
Virginia
,
with the theme “Called to be Peacemakers,” is aware of the current
Internal Revenue Service suit against Philadelphia Yearly Meeting
because of Priscilla Adam’s conscientious objection to the payment
of military taxes.
We are thankful for the gift of the Spirit’s leading
and see as fitting and proper Philadelphia Yearly Meeting’s support
of Priscilla Adam’s loyalty to her leading as she witnesses to
our Quaker Peace Testimony.
As you may know, Baltimore Yearly Meeting has supported
Frank Massey, our Yearly Meeting General Secretary and employee,
in his conscientious object to the payment of military taxes.
Know
Friends, that we hold Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and Priscilla
Adams in the Light as the Yearly Meeting and Priscilla continue
in this leading.
