Annual Sessions 2023 gathered Friends from across the PYM four-state region and beyond. While we have gathered for two hybrid Continuing Sessions, this was our first hybrid Annual Sessions, which included residential participation; Friends online were joined by those at The College of New Jersey during the weekend days. Following yearly meetings’ annual gatherings, outgoing epistles “to all Friends everywhere” are shared widely in our global Quaker community. (You can read others from 2023 posted on the Friend World Committee for Consultation website.) Shared below are links to this year’s epistles from Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. Please read and share widely, especially with Friends who might not have attended Annual Sessions. The epistle committee seeks to capture what occurred during our time together and how Spirit moved among us.
- Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Epistle 2023
- PYM Young Adult Friends Epistle 2023
- Children & Youth Epistle 2023
We also encourage you to read the Mott Memo “recaps” for each day of Annual Sessions, where daily highlights of the time together were shared:
- Mott Memo Recap from Wednesday July 26
- Mott Memo Recap from Thursday July 27
- Mott Memo Recap from Friday July 28 & Saturday July 29
- Mott Memo Recap from Sunday July 30
Friends will gather again for Fall Continuing Sessions, Saturday, November 11, 2023! Hope to see you there!
