Why the nuclear debate must uplift women’s voices
The question of nuclear arms is stuck in a rut. As recently as the 2019 General Election campaign, any budding prime minister had to be prepared to be asked whether they would press the hypothetical nuclear button. The vast majority of party leaders affirmed their readiness to use nuclear weapons, and those who would not do so were quickly labelled as unelectable, or without backbone. In effect, the question of using nuclear weapons has ceased to be a question – it's been reduced to a litmus test: are you 'man' enough, or not, to hold the lives of hundreds of millions people in your nuclear-armed hands?

3 things to expect from the Scottish Parliament that aren’t an independence referendum
The sixth session of the Scottish Parliament has now begun. While a great deal of coverage of the election has focussed on the prospect of a second independence referendum, there are other issues we should expect to see on the political horizon.

Spiritual support for climate action
“Can our anger, grief and love push us forward to renewed action?" – Minute 33: Faith-based action for climate justice, Yearly Meeting Gathering 2021 Anger, grief and love can push us towards action but they can also make us feel helpless in the face of the climate crisis. Anger and grief can also overwhelm us when, despite our actions, change is still painfully slow. Our love for a person or a place hurts when we think about what might happen in the future. A focus on action only can leave us without anything to sustain us when things get tough.

Crunch time for Policing Bill
The Policing Bill is a massive piece of legislation that includes many measures that go against Quaker values. These include longer sentences, expanding stop-and-search powers, restricting protest, and criminalising trespass. A lot of these will disproportionately affect people from marginalised communities.

Last push to defend our right to protest
Last week we had a huge success on the protest part of the Policing Bill. Members of the House of Lords defeated almost all of the government's last-minute attempts to change the bill, and opposition Peers introduced some of their own improvements.

Exploring Faith and Climate Justice course: the story so far
At first, I must admit I didn't feel sure this course was for me. I'd encountered the term 'climate justice' about five years previously, when I was serving on the old BYM Sustainability Group, the national Quaker working group. But it was many years earlier that I began to see the ruthless exploitation of land and natural resources and the ruthless exploitation of people as facets of the same grasping and arrogant attitude among those in the Global North (to use a convenient shorthand).

From policy to practice: safeguarding the most vulnerable
It only seems a moment ago that I was confined during lockdown and working on the York Area Meeting safeguarding policy. But time goes on quickly and I see from my notes that it has been three years. This short article is an account of my personal journey with safeguarding and that of my team. I will try to provide a pen portrait of what we have learnt, what we have achieved and *spoiler alert* why I'm proud of it.

Talking across the divide
In this time of growing division, my encounters with people who have radically different beliefs to mine are few and far between. My circles are becoming the classic echo chamber of familiar news stories. I am scared that in another ten years' time these conversations won't just be uncomfortable, talking across the divide might be impossible.

General Election 2024: A guide to the manifestos
We are now just over halfway through the general election campaign. From the nation's racetracks, runways, and rollercoasters, UK politicians are reaching out to the public with their ideas of where to take society in the next five years. The recently released party manifestos provide a crucial lens through which we can evaluate how our values align with the proposed policies and commitments that our political leaders have made.

Charting a path post-election
On 4 July, the Labour party won the election with 410 MPs and an effective working majority of 181. It won a popular mandate based on "change", and "a government of national service", after nearly a decade and a half of Conservative rule in one form or another. Where and, perhaps more importantly, how, do Quakers fit into this era of "change"?
