Welcome to Baltimore Yearly Meeting!
Baltimore Yearly Meeting builds and nurtures a strong and vibrant Quaker community across the Mid-Atlantic. We seek to build community, grow in the life of the spirit, discern right action, and bear witness in the world. BYM includes Quaker meetings in parts of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The BYM Office, located in Sandy Spring, MD, provides technical support to local Quaker Meetings and opportunities for Quakers in our region to work, play, serve, learn, and grow spiritually together as Friends.
Join BYM Friends at 10am on Saturday, April 13th for our annual Budget & Apportionment Meeting.
The Announcements are posted every Friday. Click here to see the most current set.

Dr. Amanda Kemp reads excerpts from her new book, Say the Wrong Thing: Stories and Strategies for Racial Justice and Authentic Community and performs with violinist Michael Jamanis. Part commentary and part memoir, Say the Wrong Thing, takes on racial profiling, interracial relationships, and parenting in the age of Black Lives Matter. Kemp and Jamanis perform music referenced in the book including their signature duet, Chaconne Emancipated, which features excerpt from Dr. King's I Have a Dream speech, poetry by Assata Shakur, and Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation over a soundtrack of Bach and African American freedom songs and spirituals. Kemp will also discuss "Strategies of the H.E.A.R.T.," a five-part workshop series that she has launched to help schools, organizations, and people of faith deepen their authentic connections and advance racial justice. This program is appropriate for ages 10 and older. For more information please contact amanda@dramandakemp.com or seewww.dramandakemp.com.
