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.

Did you know there are Quakers in 87 different countries, representing 100 Yearly Meetings, speaking multiple languages? How do you think differences in culture affect ways in which Quakers worship? What do Friends around the world have in common? What is the value of a resounding collective Quaker voice around the world? Gretchen Castle, General Secretary of the Friends World Committee for Consultation – World Office in London will be with us to share her experiences of Quakers around the world. Gretchen grew up among pastoral Friends in Iowa, worked for Friends General Conference and other Quaker organizations, was presiding clerk of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, and now serves Friends at the world level. Come hear her stories, see photos, and imagine how the family of Friends extends from the Asia West Pacific, through Africa and Europe, and to the Americas extending from Alaska and Canada to Peru and Bolivia (the second largest group of Quakers). The presentation will begin at 4:00pm.
