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.

“We are committed to working for a world where dignity and rights are upheld regardless of migration status and not on the basis of citizenship or perceived deservedness.”--Quaker Statement on Migration, December 2020
How are Friends working for this vision of migration justice locally, nationally, and internationally? How does Quaker action on immigration intersect across these arenas? And what are the prospects for change in the coming year? FCNL’s February Quaker Changemaker event will highlight common threads in Quaker work for just migration policies, in local communities, on Capitol Hill, and internationally.
Learn more and register to join this Quaker Changemaker conversation on Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 3:00 p.m. EST.
Speakers include Oscar Hernandez Ortiz, a member of FCNL’s young adult Advocacy Corps who is organizing and lobbying in Arizona; and Laurel Townhead, Human Rights and Refugees Representative for the Quaker United Nations Office (QUNO). FCNL recently joined QUNO and other Quaker organizations in issuing the joint Quaker Statement on Migration. Marisa León-Gómez Sonet, FCNL’s program assistant for immigration and refugee policy, will moderate the conversation.
