The North Pacific Yearly Meeting community is committed to justice, equity, and love. We affirm this commitment by welcoming gender diversity, uprooting racism, and supporting migrants and indigenous people. We inscribed these testimonies over the years, and we continue to affirm them now.
We would love to hear what is happening in your part of Quakerdom. Our newsletter is published Quarterly on the 1st of Aug, Nov, Feb and May.

The ad hoc committee to consider NPYM affiliation with Friends General Conference (FGC) would like your consideration and feedback, regarding NPYM's possible future affiliation with FGC. Please review these documents:
Our theme this fall is drawn from an article by Patricia McBee, Quaker Spiritual Disciplines for Hard Times (Friends Journal, Aug 2003). McBee asks us to consider how practices that have grounded Quakers through the centuries can guide us in today’s times of existential crisis:
“... We are living in hard times that look as though they are going to get
harder.... If we are to face the crises in today’s world we can’t be going
around in circles—we need to help one another find a robust spirituality.”
At the plenary session on Saturday, a panel of Friends will explore five early Quaker spiritual disciplines, guided by the weighty insights of McBee’s writing. We will continue to delve into these practices in small group worship and other activities. REGISTRATION CLOSES SEPTEMBER 12TH.
