Yearly Meeting Gathering
‘We did conclude among ourselves to settle a meeting, to see one another’s faces, and open our hearts one to another in the Truth of God once a year, as formerly it used to be.’ Yearly Meeting in London, 1668
On 30 July, around 1,500 Friends and their families will make their pilgrimage to Canterbury for Yearly Meeting Gathering (YMG). We will stay for a week on the campus of the University of Kent at Canterbury, on a hillside overlooking the city. All are welcome – members, attenders, and non-Quaker family members and friends. The theme of the week-long gathering is Growing in the Spirit: changing the way we live to sustain the world we live in.
