Discussion: How Does the Religious Society of Friends Organize Itself?

Venue: Arch Street Meeting House, Owen Biddle Room (2nd Floor)

Curious about Quakerism’s organizational structure as a faith community? Through presentation and discussion, we will explore how the Religious Society of Friends structures itself, with special attention to the relationships between Monthly Meetings (what Quakers call local congregations), Quarterly Meetings, and Yearly Meetings. Friends will discuss how local meetings engage with larger regional Quaker bodies, and what is uniquely part of a Yearly Meeting’s purview.

Christie Duncan-Tessmer, General Secretary of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, will lead the program and reflect on PYM’s mandate, including its current programs and recent activities. This event is one in an ongoing spring 2025 series from the Adult Religious Education Committee.
