• Deadline to Register for Spiritual Formation

  • When
    October 02, 2022

  You are invited to meet with others from BFM to nurture and strengthen your spiritual life through the Baltimore Yearly Meeting Spiritual Formation Program. You don't have to have attended the September opening retreat of the BYM Spiritual Formation Program to participate in this nine-month program. We will meet once a month on Zoom for 90 minutes at a time convenient to everyone who wants to participate. There will also be small groups which will meet monthly. Some of these will meet on Zoom and some will meet in person if it is safe to do so. This year, some of us will be combining spiritual formation with the “Collective Journey to Redress Systemic Racism” work led by Lucy D. and Rob P. If you are interested in the Spiritual Formation Program apart from the anti-racism work, please respond before the deadline for registration, Sunday, October 2.

  • Location
    at home and Zoom

  Held on the 2nd and 4th Sundays from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. Sometimes canceled on holiday weeks; please check the Event calendar.  

  How do we quiet our brains enough to hear the still, small voice within us? How might we deepen our experience of meeting for worship? Experiment With Light is a meditative and centering practice based upon Rex Ambler’s book Light to Live By, which describes early Quaker meditative habits and translates them into a highly accessible process of clearness and understanding.

  • All are welcome to attend. First-time participants find the process quite easy to follow and, often,  richly rewarding.
  • You can follow the prompts at home and write or draw responses you have experienced during those prompts: https://experiment-with-light.org.uk/meditations/  We usually use the meditation on the individual in modern language, full length, 37 minute version. 
  • We will share our meditation experience in a Zoom gathering. Request access via our Contact Us form.

• Quaker Organizing re Threats to Democracy

  We have received an urgent call to the Religious Society of Friends concerning the current extensive threats to our U.S. democracy. A group of nineteen Friends has issued the Call to others in the Quaker community. Many Quakers and Quaker organizations have joined the effort to speak out against the lies, extremist movements, and anti-democratic actions that are the opposite of our Quaker understandings of integrity and Truth and how we might be called to act with integrity in response to these concerns. The American Friends Service Committee invites all concerned Friends and friends to join them on Thursday, October 13, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. You can learn much more about it here. And register for the program here:

  The Quaker Book Group meets monthly, in this case, via Zoom, from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. usually on the second Saturday of the month. Because of the Women’s Retreat this October, it will meet on Saturday, October 15 to discuss Dawn of Everything: A new history of humanity, by David Graeber and David Wengrow. The book takes on competing myths of pre-agricultural and pre-industrial society and asks why current social structures are so inequitable. Newcomers are always welcome (even if you have not read the book!). We read a mix of books by Quakers, books about Quakerism, and books that speak to Quaker values and concerns. The group is invited to share announcements, summaries, and thoughts about the readings through an online mailing list.

  Caste Book Discussion Group.  The Working Group on Racism (WGR) is asking Baltimore Yearly Meeting Friends to read Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, The Lies that Divide Us by Isabel Wilkerson. WGR members will host a Caste reading group by Zoom, available to all in the Yearly Meeting, on seven Wednesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., beginning Wednesday September 14 and ending December 14. Each session will feature readings, together with questions and queries, and opportunity for large-group discussion and small-group sharing. Friends of Color are invited to indicate a preference for an affinity group.  We hope the numbers will make this possible. To register for the discussions please visit this link.
