Quakers have a long tradition of challenging power and advocating reform. Their Yearly Meeting next week takes a fresh look at ways to engage in the political process at a key moment when the new coalition government challenges old ways of working.
Other business at Yearly Meeting (28 to 31 May) in London, includes an update on the radical decision Quakers made last summer to treat same sex and opposite sex marriages equally. The recession has prompted a session on the ministry of giving, recognising the need for different forms of giving, praying, paying and acting.
