Quaker communities – loving, inclusive and all-age?

Updated 7 September 2017

In August, Yearly Meeting, the annual gathering of British Quakers, gave all Quakers in Britain an exciting challenge – for our meetings to be more diverse. Now I'm looking for suggestions on just how we can do that.

The power of words: Holocaust Memorial Day 2018

Updated 10 September 2021

I have attended the national commemoration to mark International Holocaust Memorial Day in London for several years. It is a deeply moving event and each time it manages to explore not only what happened in Europe to many Jewish, gay, disabled, Roma and communist people in the Holocaust, but also reminds us all of the subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

Updated 1 April 2021

In its earliest days, Quakerism was rooted deeply in the Christian story. The language, imagery and ideals that shaped the early Quaker community were deeply influenced by the Bible, both the old and new testaments.

Updated 18 February 2019

Whether they are out canvassing at election time, or marching for their right to live free of gun violence, young people everywhere are working to make the world a more just and equal place. Not just for themselves, but for everyone.

5 ways to make Quaker meeting houses work for the future

Updated 27 September 2018

I'm always a bit anxious when we spend time worrying about Quaker property. Early Quaker George Fox was disparaging about 'steeple houses'. In his radical vision, going to a physical church was not necessary to experience God. Really it's the community that makes up the church, not the premises it meets in.

Migrant rights are human rights

Updated 29 November 2023

While it has gained increased political and press attention in recent years, the movement across national borders of people who do not qualify for refugee status is not a new phenomenon. Neither is the call to advocate for those people, and to ask that every person who migrates, regardless of their circumstances, is treated with humanity, dignity and kindness.

Responding creatively in divided times

Updated 8 March 2023

It has been pointed out many times that the EU referendum was perhaps a symptom rather than the cause of unresolved social divisions in the UK. It is also clear that those pre-existing divisions have deepened over the last few years.

Beyond Brexit

Updated 29 March 2019

The current political crisis is a failure of leadership right across UK politics. In both Parliament and Government we have seen a lack of forethought.

We needed leaders with integrity and courage, and we found leaders prepared to gamble with the wellbeing of the country.
