Annual Session

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)


The Yearly Meeting has begun to collect reports from Local Meetings as to their Spiritual State during 2012. The reports that have been received to date are available for review and the Spiritual State of the Yearly Meeting will be considered and accepted during Annual Session 2013 this summer.


Electronic version of the 2012 Draft Faith and Practice is now available for purchase online!

4th Annual Northeastern Christ-Centered Friends Gathering

Sunday, August 19, 2012
Location: Prindle Pond Conference Center
Description: This fourth annual gathering of Christ-centered Friends from the Northeast at Prindle Pond reaffirms our original epistle from our 2009 gathering: “to Friends everywhere, and to all who seek love, joy, hope, and meaning in life” and “Knowing that language and doctrinal notions have caused unnecessary divisions among people of faith, we have no desire to add to these, but simply to stand with Jesus Christ at an open door, where He offers His light and love.” Our second gathering, 2010, called us to “be Living Epistles of Christ” as written in 2 Corinthians 3:2-3. Our third gathering’s statement included: “We joyfully invite each other to continue this experience of our blessed community in Christ, learning and growing together in our faith and practice.”
