General election manifestos: how do they fare on climate justice?
Quakers are committed to equality and sustainability. We want to see a world in which all living beings can thrive. The upcoming general election is likely to bring about a change of politics. What might this look like? And how can we ensure that climate justice is at the heart of future government action?

Reflections on the 2024 Labour Conference: change or business as usual?
If, as William Penn said, "true silence is to the spirit what sleep is to the body", then I suspect there are many attendees at the Labour conference in need of spiritual rest. As soon as I stepped onto the platform at Euston on Sunday morning the air of urgency was obvious. The train was packed with party members bumping shoulders with professional lobbyists, which made for some interesting overheard conversations.

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.'

Learning from and praying for the women of Nigeria: World Day of Prayer 2026
I'm happy to be your Quaker appointed representative on the joyful, wonderful and inspiring World Day of Prayer Committee for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Each year, the WDP service is created by the women in a different country – in 2024 it was Palestine, last year it was Cook Islands, and this year we are hearing from Nigeria. 2027 will be the centenary year! The service features songs, prayers and stories from the focus country, to help us feel connected across the world. I try to immerse myself in learning as much as I can about the country featured, because it's an interactive process. I get the most from the WDP services when I get really involved. This year I'll be wearing Nigerian dress and headscarf, and as part of the service, I'll be reading the words of a Nigerian woman.

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.
