Baltimore Yearly Meeting

Baltimore Yearly Meeting welcomes you to our website. We hope that you will find all of the information about Baltimore Yearly Meeting and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) that you are looking for.

Baltimore Yearly Meeting is the regional organizing unit for the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in the area of central Pennsylvania, Maryland, parts of West Virginia, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. It is through membership in a Yearly Meeting that individual Quakers become connected with the larger Quaker movement worldwide. "In fellowship, in deep listening, in waiting worship, in commitment to each other, it richly rewards those who embrace the challenge of being a Yearly Meeting Friend." (2011 draft Faith and Practice)

We have begun receiving 2011 Spiritual State of the Meeting reports from local Meetings. Click here to see the reports received to date.

Tom Farquhar, Head of Sidwell Friends School

Add to My Calendar
Location: William Penn House
Description: “The Quaker belief that there is "that of God" in each of us shapes everything at Sidwell Friends School. It inspires us to show kindness and respect toward one another. It motivates us to recognize and nurture each person's unique gifts. It teaches us to apply our talents in service to others and to work courageously for peace. We draw strength from silence—and from the power of individual and collective reflection. We cultivate in all members of our community high personal expectations and integrity, respect for consensus, and an understanding of how diversity enriches us, why stewardship of the natural world matters and why service to others enhances life. Above all, we seek to be a school that nurtures a genuine love of learning and teaches students ‘to let their lives speak.’” Tom Farquhar is Head of School at Sidwell Friends School and an active member of Sandy Springs Friends Meeting. During his career as an educator among Friends, he has taught at Sandy Spring Friends School and, prior to his accepting the position at Sidwell, he was head of school of Westtown Friends School. Potluck begins at 6:30 pm. For more information, see the William Penn House website. (williampennhouse.org/potlucks) The William Penn House is at 515 E Capitol St SE, Washington, DC.
