BritainYearlyMeeting is the umbrella body for the Religious Society of Friends in Britain (England, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Isles and the Isle of Man).
BritainYearlyMeeting, which until 1995 was known as London YearlyMeeting, grew out of various national and regional meetings of Friends in the 1650s and 1660s and has met annually since 1668.
In 2005, a residential YearlyMeeting was held at the University of York, from 30 July to 6 August.
YearlyMeeting in 1760, troubled that standards in the Society were falling, set up a committee ‘for the promotion and revival of wholesome discipline’ (sources and references), which visited meetings all over the country.
Meeting for Sufferings agreed to publish the draft in 1988 and invited meetings to use it for two or three years and to join in the process of revision by telling of their experience.
Preparative meetings should give periodic consideration to the ways in which advices and queries can be used and they are to report to their respective monthly meetings annually or triennially, as directed, on the use made of them.
