Yearly Meeting (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Members of the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, use the term Yearly Meeting to refer to an organization composed of a collection of smaller, more frequent constituent meetings within a geographical area. These constituent meetings go by various names such as Quarterly Meetings, which meet four times a year, Monthly Meetings, Area Meetings or Regional Meetings. Quarterly meetings, in Yearly Meetings where they exist, are organizations usually composed of a group of Monthly Meetings. Yearly Meetings derive their name from annual gatherings of members and attenders of the Religious Society of Friends-from constituent meetings-in order to transact the business of the Yearly Meeting.
