Dear Friends,

I invite you to come to CYM 2010 in Winnipeg for a week of worshipping God, attending to Friends’ business and getting to know each other better. “Living our Faith and Practice in the 21st Century” will be our theme for the week. YM brings Quakers – experienced and inexperienced - young and old - from across Canada - together.

Our business is discerning the way forward on a number of issues, including: the draft Faith and Practice; the draft Addressing Violations and Misunderstandings of a Sexual Nature in Friends Meetings; and pressing environmental and social justice issues. There will be a ‘threshing session’ on whether we should hold YM every second year rather than every year.

Rick McCutcheon former Clerk of Canadian Yearly Meeting will be the Sunderland P. Gardner lecturer and his title is “Working with Darkness, Waiting for Light: Friendly Thoughts on Quakers and Violence”. Bible Study will be led by Jay Cowsill on the topic “Berith: Covenant and Crisis in the Jewish Bible”.

A pre-gathering Retreat will be held from Friday evening until Saturday evening.

I hope that you will come to Yearly Meeting!

See you there.
Anne Mitchell, Clerk
