Quaker Question Time: listening and learning together
"Love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." -- Rainer Maria Rilke

9 voices the Department for Education would ban from schools
Recent Department for Education guidance tells headteachers in England to ensure external organisations, speakers and resources do not take "extremist" stances. These include a stated desire to abolish capitalism and "a failure to condemn illegal activities done in support of their cause". The guidance also bans "victim narratives that are harmful to British society".

Bread Not Bombs: honouring those killed in war by preventing future war
Near the desk I usually sit at when working in Friends House, there's a poster featuring a wheatsheaf that reads: 'The hungry need bread not bombs. Stop the arms trade.' When I leave at the end of the day, I pass another poster. This one bears the photo of a young African girl drinking from a plastic bowl. It declares 'People need water not weapons.'

Tangled roots: personal reflections on the Swarthmore Lecture
In the recent Swarthmore lecture, I explored how the complex mix of characteristics visible in the early Quaker movement continue to present us with important challenges and dilemmas today. In doing this, I didn't really talk about my personal response to these issues. However, in the book to accompany the lecture, I offer a number of personal reflections. In this blog, I will touch on some of these observations and share four short passages from the book, in the hope that this will encourage reflection not only about how the lecture relates to the Quaker way generally, but also to our individual experiences as Friends.
