Alone, together: Quaker communities for climate justice
Caring can be a lonely business. For those of us who care about climate justice, it can feel very isolating to see people around us continuing as though nothing is happening. We can feel ashamed or paralysed if we can't convert that care into action. Following 'The Big One' Extinction Rebellion protest in London in April, a Quaker told me that the real challenge wasn't the protest – it was coming home.

Why it is time to build a culture of sanctuary
Culture can have many definitions. According to the Quaker anthropologist E.B. Tylor it is the principal way in which we interpret the world. Or there's the memorable slogan taught in some business schools: 'culture eats strategy for breakfast'.

Thousands of Quakers are divesting from fossil fuels
Quakers that attend local meetings are also members of regional collectives known as area meetings. Area meetings in Britain collectively manage millions of pounds of investments, and almost half of them now have zero investment in fossil fuels. More than 30 per cent have actively chosen to divest huge sums from the fossil fuel industry.

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.

The changing shape of Quaker meetings
Our Tabular Statement is the annual report of all Quakers in Britain, the closest thing Quakers have to a census. Every year, area meetings send in a report which shares the overall numbers of members and attenders, and the changes that meetings have recorded in the previous twelve months.

All together now!
Yearly Meeting is the annual assembly of the Quaker church in Britain. It's when Quakers gather in worship to connect, explore current concerns and conduct business. At this year's event we'll be trying something new: an enormous meeting for worship that will bring together as many Quakers as possible from across Britain.

Finding patterns and examples in Edinburgh
The sun is streaming through the windows of the main meeting room at Central Edinburgh Meeting House. It is a cold and bright February morning and there is a buzz of excited conversation filling the room.

Our faith, our work: a look back at 2017
I am continually inspired by the breadth, depth and conviction of Quakers' work. Across Britain meetings are taking action inspired by their faith, working to nurture and diversify their communities, and supporting Quaker work to make the world a better place.

Climate justice: a cause for cautious optimism?
When it comes to asking governments to step up to taking action to tackle climate change it is often easy to feel doom and gloom. However, in recent months there has been cause for cautious optimism.

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.
