Vigil against renewal of Trident
Bury St Edmunds Quakers believe it to be a sin against our common humanity as well as an appalling use of money at a time when austerity measures threaten peoples' livelihoods. Inspired by three creative Friends, Bury Meeting carried out a silent vigil to protest against the possible replacement of the Trident nuclear missile system, which is to be decided on in 2016.

Nonviolent change in Rwanda
Bryn Higgs, East Africa Programme Manager, undertook a monitoring trip to Rwanda in October 2016. Quaker Peace & Social Witness supports local groups and trainers there to work on nonviolent social change.

Wheel Stop Trident
Around 14 young people, most with a Quaker background, formed Wheel Stop Trident in early 2015. Since then, we've pedalled cheerfully from London to Reading, and from Trident-linked arms company offices to Parliament, calling for the government to scrap Trident and spend the £100 billion on services that ensure true security.

Exploring peace with local young people
Connecting with our local communities is a feature of the life of many Quaker meetings and groups, whether it's in our annual Quaker Week each October or with events throughout the year. In my work at Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) I'm particularly interested in how to better connect with children and families in the local community. This is also a long-term aim of Hertford & Hitchin Area Meeting's Peace Group. It has long been keen to engage local schools with Quaker peace education materials and share an approach that helps children develop the skills and understanding we need to be peacemakers in our lives.

Why peace workshops are still worth it
In the 1990s I travelled across the Balkans, Northern Ireland and Western Europe facilitating sessions for peace. Despite the fragmentation of Eastern Europe and conflict in the former Yugoslavia it felt like peace was possible, and we could end the century with more peace than war. That isn't really how it has turned out, and this century has already witnessed wars thousands of us tried to prevent. We plod on for peace unbowed.
