Biographical / Historical
New York Yearly Meeting was first held in 1696 as the Yearly Meeting at Flushing or Long Island, consisting essentially of the Flushing Quarterly Meeting that was set off from New England Yearly Meeting. Meeting for Sufferings was established in 1758 and was held quarterly to represent and hold any business of the Yearly Meeting while it was not in session.
In 1978 Ministry and Counsel was reorganized and enlarged, the name of its Executive Committee changed to the Coordinating Committee on Ministry and Counsel, and the nme of its parent body to Yearly Meeting on Ministry and Counsel. At this time it had four constituent committees: Epistle, Faith and Practice, Human Relations, and Sufferings.
