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.
Information about services from the Yearly Meeting available for our local Meetings and worshiping communities is listed here.
In the past year we have learned a lot about how to gather online as a community. Yearly Meetings and Quaker Organizations have been working to create community online and to find ways to allow Spirit to move us. As we transition from a fully online world to a blended in-person and online one, it seems valuable to come together to share.
We have learned about muting and unmuting, raising virtual hands, and creating breakout rooms in Zoom. The greater challenge has been how to use technology to create spaces where Spirit can move us, lead us, and how we can support and build the community that nurtures us.
Join us April 17, 2021 to explore what we together have learned and how we might utilize that going forward.
