Description

Meetings for Discernment are an ongoing experiment in extended worship of New York Yearly Meeting—two periods of silent, waiting worship held twice a year, each lasting more than the usual one hour, with some interval of time between them.

Winter Meetings for Discernment take place on a Saturday usually in March in regions throughout the Yearly Meeting. The gathering breaks for lunch between the two sessions.

Ministry Coordinating Committee (MCC) met six times over the past year, at Summer, Fall, and Spring Sessions, and on Coordinating Committee weekend. Our meetings were rich and full and we often felt led by Spirit in the work that was brought before us. Ministry Coordinating Committee oversees the work of the yearly meeting committees that guide the spiritual life of our meetings.
