Britain Yearly Meeting took place at Friends House London and online over the May Bank Holiday, from Friday 23–Monday 26 May 2025.

A challenging and urgent topic that was considered at BYM this year was the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Minute 30 of BYM 2025 states that genocide is indeed being perpetrated in Gaza, but clearly specifies that this is due to the policy and actions of the current Israeli government, not Israeli citizens in general or Jewish people worldwide. “We cry out for Palestinians and Israelis to be safe and to live thriving, joyous lives in their homelands. Everyone deserves a place to live where they don’t feel scared.”

Britain Yearly Meeting also issued a press release on this topic.

Here is a link to the Epistle from BYM 2025.
