Dear Friends--
The date and time of the New England Yearly Meeting Called Meeting on Gaza mentioned at the September FMC Meeting for Business in Worship has been set. It will take place on Zoom on Saturday, Oct 18 from 3-6 pm The registration link and more info about the event appears below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At Sessions 2025, a minute was approved asking the Presiding Clerk and the Permanent Board to schedule a meeting of New England Friends as soon as possible for the purpose of sharing and encouraging work that is already being done in the Yearly Meeting, and worshipfully discerning a corporate response to the crisis in Gaza. This meeting is now scheduled for 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 18. This will be an all-Zoom meeting. Register for the meeting at https://luma.com/6hp9cnar?mc_cid=d5cefa00bf&mc_eid=cb5ad98fc4
We are very aware that there are many conflicts with this date and time. All weekends in October were considered and significant conflicts were found for all of them. The request by Sessions for a timely meeting led us to conclude that delaying the called meeting for later in the year would be less in keeping with the minute's intent. Those who cannot attend but who would like to share their insights are encouraged to send their thoughts in an email to gaza@neym.org. These letters will be available for registrants to read in advance of the meeting.
Resources that include the actions that the Yearly Meeting, quarterly meetings, monthly meetings, and other Quaker organizations have already taken regarding Israel-Palestine can be found at neym.org/israel-palestine-resources-engagement
Further details will be posted on the website and shared with registrants as our planning progresses. We ask that you listen deeply to what truths are given to you and help us to seek out where we are being led.

Phillip Veatch, presiding clerk, New England Yearly Meeting
