A continuing Yearly Meeting? Strengthening spirit-led discernment

Updated 10 June 2024

What happens at the moment? Yearly Meeting meets once a year and is the only meeting where all Friends can engage in spirit-led discernment on the most important issues for our Quaker community. Between Yearly Meetings, Meeting for Sufferings meets four times per year to give year-round attention to those Quaker concerns. Not all Friends can attend Meeting for Sufferings, which is made up of representatives from each Area Meeting, General Meeting, and central and standing committee that makes up Quakers in Britain.
