Are you in the right place? The acronym BYM can equally well stand for Baltimore Yearly Meeting.

 

QUAKERS in Britain The Religious Society of Friends Britain Yearly Meeting

Quaker faith springs from the experience that each one of us can have a direct relationship with the Divine. We Quakers find that by meeting together for communal worship we are empowered to find peace and strength for work in the world.

Formally Quakers are the Religious Society of Friends and hence they often refer to each other as Friends. More than twenty seven thousand people attend Quaker meetings for worship in these islands. These quiet times of seeking the presence of God are held regularly in about 500 places, many of them Friends' Meeting Houses.
