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.

Times and seasons: A Quaker reflection on Christmas

Updated 17 February 2020

Early Quakers did not observe Christmas nor mark other 'times and seasons'. They believed that no day was more holy than any other, and believed that each day, and all of life, was sacred (Quaker faith & practice 27.39 and 27.42). Today, as with so many things in the Quaker community, there is a full spectrum of practices and responses.

Updated 12 December 2018

We probably all agree that safeguarding is important – but do we all have a shared understanding of what it is? Quakers believe it's centrally important as we seek a future where our communities are loving, inclusive and all age.

A Quaker approach to mental health

Updated 11 June 2021

Over the last year, the global health crisis has affected all of us. Both our physical and mental health has been shaped by our different experiences of the pandemic, through the kind of work we do, our caring responsibilities, our home and work lives. For some the pandemic's impact on mental health will have brought new and challenging experiences. For others, old feelings may have resurfaced or healthy coping mechanisms been upended by the disruption to what was once normal. So what do Quakers have to say about mental health in this current time?

Quaker community: taking our commitments forward

Updated 22 December 2021

In the summer, as Quakers gathered together for a Yearly Meeting quite unlike any other, we felt moved and challenged by the Spirit to commit ourselves to "becoming an actively anti-racist faith community".
