Tender Time, A: Quaker Voices on the End of Life

By Patricia M. Nesbitt and Kristin Camitta Zimet

From the Baltimore Yearly Meeting’s End of Life Working Group, A Tender Time is a unique collection of Quaker voices, historical and contemporary, that explores practical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of aging and dying well. It moves in widening circles, from aging to dying, and from primary caregiver to friends to the whole faith community. It illustrates how individual Friends make end-of-life decisions, guided by the Spirit and Quaker values.

Baltimore Yearly Meeting has been nurturing a vibrant Quaker community in the Mid-Atlantic for more than 350 years. BYM seeks to build community, grow in the Spirit, discern right action, and bear witness in the world.
