Yearly Meeting sessions in 2027

2027 will be the first year of the full four-sessions-a-year cycle – here are all the dates and what we know so far.

Saturday 20 February: Friends House & online

The agenda hasn't been finalised but Agenda Planning Committee expects that it may include:

  • More details about Yearly Meeting Gathering (see below)
  • Further consideration of membership
  • More information on how to engage with the book of discipline Read, reflect, respond process
  • Discernment of Quaker Recognised Body applications

Saturday 1 May: Friends House & online

Plans for the agenda are at an early stage but Agenda Planning Committee has already discerned that it may be right to hear from the Reparation Working Group and from the Book of Discipline Revision Committee.

The agenda for YMG will focus on discernment on the draft book of discipline, Our Quaker way.

The agenda is not yet set but is likely to include further business brought by the Reparation Working Group.
