Hinkle Creek Friends is part of the Western Yearly Meeting Friends in Plainfield Indiana. There are a little over 50 Monthly Meetings who will attend the Yearly meeting next weekend in Plainfield.The newsletter they send out is called Western Work.
I believe that the IYM(Indiana Yearly Meeting) will be held this weekend at Quaker Haven Camp.
Hinkle Creek is also under the Friends United Meeting (founded in 1902) which is an International Association of Friends Meetings. I believe that all of the WYM is under the FUM umbrella. So, FUM is the Group that directly sponsors the Boys School in Belize which we are supporting this year by purchasing bicycles (2) for the boys to ride to school.
I believe there are 30 or so Yearly Meetings that come under FUM and the Indiana Yearly Meeting is one of them as well. The Quaker Faith and Practice Book is used by FUM,IYM,WYM and Hinkle Creek Friends Meeting(HCFM?)I think we are WYM because of our location. Is that right?
