Baltimore YM & FUM

There has been a great deal of controversy in Baltimore Yearly Meeting (BYM) about its relationship to Friends United Meeting (FUM). BYM is one of five yearly meetings affiliated both with FUM and Friends General Conference (FGC). Earlier this month, one of the largest monthly meetings in BYM minuted a recommendation that BYM withdraw all financial support from FUM. Your Webservant, a former BYM representative to the FUM General Board, offers reflections on this relationship.
