Each year, Quaker communities within Southeasten Yearly Meeting are invited and encouraged to submit Spiritual State of the Meeting Reports, and SEYM uses them as the base on which to build a picture of our yearly meeting:

​

The purpose of the reports is to create an opportunity for Friends in meetings to consider how Spirit has been moving in their worship community during the year just passed. The need for self-assessment is valuable to the meeting, we believe, and to the yearly meeting. Learning that there are needs and gifts that can be shared among us or that there is a need for greater capacity or support in a particular area is one important outcome from prayerful consideration of the Spiritual State of the Meeting reports. [Credit: Philidelpha Yearly Meeting]
