Britain Yearly Meeting

Trustees of Britain Yearly Meeting and Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre have this week agreed to work together to radically change the way the two organisations support Quakers across Britain.

A group of staff from Britain Yearly Meeting, the charity which manages the central policy, property, staff and work of Quakers in Britain, have had a request rejected by the Treasury. They wanted to exercise their right of conscientious objection to war by ensuring that none of their taxes are used for military purposes.

Around 1000 Quakers will be in London this week(24 to 27 May) for their Yearly Meeting to discern the way forward for Quakers in Britain.

Around a thousand Quakers will be London 25-28 May for their Yearly Meeting to discern the way forward for Quakers in Britain.
