Yearly Meeting Committees and Working Groups Resources for Covid-19
The committees and working groups of Baltimore Yearly Meeting have been collecting information from across our community, and beyond, about how people are responding to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. These have included basic matters such as how to hold Meeting for Worship with social distancing or stay-in-place orders as well as more complex issues like how our society will be changed by these events.
As our groups assemble this information, we will be adding their input to the website. Listed below are the committees and working groups and brief notes of what has been made available so far. There will be links to the detailed information included.
