Yearly Meeting registration opens
'The event on 15 November was originally planned for August but had to be postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions.'
Up to one thousand Friends are expected to gather online next month for Quakers’ first online Yearly Meeting Gathering.
The event on 15 November was originally planned for August but had to be postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions.
‘Not since 1668 has anything – not even world wars – prevented Yearly Meeting. The Covid-19 pandemic has led Quakers to be a virtual worshipping community. At Yearly Meeting Quakers gather in stillness to listen to stories of experience and to the promptings of love and truth. This time, in a scaled down event from 2.00pm till 4.30pm, they will worship, receive reports and manage required business.
Regretfully, there is no programme for children and young people on the day. They met in August,’ a statement from Britain Yearly Meeting said.
Training for Zoom is available. BYM said that registration for YM is essential, from Friday 30 October until midnight 10 November. Instructions are on the Quakers in Britain website.
