Biographical / Historical
Briefly, the responsibilities of this group include/have included the oversight of Conferences of Friends, Yearly Meetings of Younger Friends and First Day Schools in PYM Monthly Meeting branches, and providing reference and educational materials for all of the above.
The Religious Education Committee of PYM began as a subcommittee of the pre-existing First Day School Committee. It is unclear at which point this relationship changed, but for this reason the records of the Friends School Committee is mixed between this collection and that of the First Day School Association.
