About us
Philadelphia Yearly Meeting is a faith community comprised of over 100 local Meeting communities in Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, all of Delaware and Eastern Maryland. We practice "unprogrammed" Quaker worship. That is, we gather together in silent worship to wait on the word of God. We do not make use of a paid clergy or sacramental rituals. Rather we meet each other in a friendly atmosphere where anyone who feels strongly led to speak can do so. Many Friends give their time and resources to promote peace, understanding, justice and integrity. 800-2200-PYM info@pym.org

At Annual Sessions this year, the clerk shared the news that General Secretary Christie Duncan-Tessmer will be leaving her position in July 2025. A search committee is forming, a plan is in place, and there is a year for transition. The yearly meeting is immediately beginning the process of seeking our next General Secretary. Following long tradition and good practice, a search committee will be established to manage the search and bring a finalist candidate for approval to the body. The Quaker Life, Administrative and Nominating Councils will jointly support the committee and have approved a charge to give it direction. Read two stories to learn more: - Christie’s resignation letter below a note from Melissa Rycroft, Presiding Clerk https://lnkd.in/ejJjpsbh - Information on the Search https://lnkd.in/eyD5GZ88
