Informational packet related to Friends United Meeting, 2004
Scope and Contents
Baltimore Yearly Meeting is affiliated with Friends United Meeting. At FUM's 2002 Triennial, BYM's then-Presiding Clerrk, Lamar Matthew, was invited and then removed from leading a worship-sharing workshop because he lived with his same-gender partner. FUM additionally implemented a personnel policy for its staff and volunteers that was homophobic (formally, it barred anyone in a same-gender relationship) which led BYM into a multi-year corporate discernment.
This packet is an attempt to compile the related historical context from 1902 onwards and the contemporary 2002-2004 sense of the constituent meetings.
