A. The Bond of Union

The denomination of Friends is composed of yearly meetings with their subordinate branches in Great Britain, Ireland, the United States, Africa, Canada, and other parts of the world. The bond of union is maintained by

• annual correspondence between them;

• issuing and receiving certificates of membership in cases of removal; and,

• joint participation in religious and benevolent enterprises.

Each yearly meeting is independent in the transaction of its business.
