Friends United Meeting

Staffing Policy

FUM presently has a hiring policy that requires all potential employees to sign a statement that affirms their commitment to confine sex to marriage between one man and one woman (i.e., heterosexual and nonpolygamous). FUM is seeking a way forward regarding this policy, given the wide diversity among its constituent yearly meetings—one of which now represents Friends who live in a country that recognizes gay marriage (Canadian Yearly Meeting) and others of which struggle with pockets of polygamous marriages among their members (the African yearly meetings).
