VE day and the hope for peace
My mother described to me how she and her mother cried all day when Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain announced that Britain was again at war on 3 September 1939. World War I had been so terrible only 21 years earlier. The memory of that war and its impact for my grandmother, and more so my grandfather, was a continual trauma. They found it unbearable to think of having to endure yet more war. But, despite the many hardships, during those six years of 1939 to 1945 there emerged a determination to not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Why, on this International Peace Day, we’re talking about climate justice
21 September marks the International Day of Peace and the start of the first ever Global Week of Action for Peace and Climate Justice; an initiative which Quakers in Britain have been coordinating with an international network of organisations. This year, peace and climate justice movements will be coming together in recognition of their shared vision of a world in which human and natural life can thrive.

Stepping forward for peace: a public display of unity and peace
In 2012, at 28 years old, I stood just behind the fountains at Trafalgar Square waiting for a taxi to arrive. It was early April, bright and cold. The square was busy, as it often is, but today was different. Instead of the movement and transient atmosphere, people were sat down facing a stage in front of the fountain.

We need to reclaim security for everyone
As a peace campaigner, it can feel like there is so much we need to resist at the moment: rising military spending, growing risk from nuclear weapons, and increasing public support for military intervention against the backdrop of the Ukraine invasion.

A youthful Yearly Meeting
Children and young people are a vital part of Yearly Meeting. They gather to look at its themes in age-appropriate ways, build community, explore Quaker faith and practice, experience worship and prayerful decision-making, and of course have lots of fun in a safe space.

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.

Funerals in a time of physical distancing
Quaker funerals often have a different feel to other Christian celebrations marking the end of a person's life. They take the same simple, still form as a Quaker meeting for worship and are open to anyone who wants to gather to remember someone who has died.

Are you ready for 2021?
Are you ready for 2021, or are you still reeling from 2020? The pandemic, like a powerful lens, has shown up more clearly many of the challenges we already knew we faced – both inside our Quaker community and in the world around us. In this blog I want to take a look at some of those challenges, and consider the questions we need to ask ourselves in order to meet them.

Building peace during a pandemic: nonviolent activism in Kenya
When the Covid-19 pandemic began, no one in Kenya thought it would reach us. In March 2020, we were all proven wrong when the first positive case was reported.

Like the rest of the world, Rwanda has been hit by the Covid-19 pandemic; our economy especially has suffered a lot. Life has become difficult for everyone, including for the members of the Evangelical Friends Church Rwanda (EEAR).
