Religious Education Committee
The Religious Education Committee works with Friends individually and at local Meetings to support religious education with all age groups.
Click to see the complete description of the Committee as it appears in the current Manual of Procedure.
The Committee has created a web page of their own that includes many useful links and resources. Just click on the image to the right.
In October of 2009, the Yearly Meeting approved adoption of a Youth Safety Policy which has been recommended for review by local Meeting Religious Education Committees for consideration in the operation of their programs.
The RE Committee also has available a single email address that may be used to contact them. Simply send to RECommittee@bym-rsf.org and it will be forwarded to the entire current committee.
The Committee has developed a draft curriculum for Friends to consider. The current version is dated March 21, 2019 and can be downloaded here.
