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.

Lighting the way: Quaker witness in troubled times
Another year gone by, that felt so quick. It was another eventful year of difficult moments - with conflicts, political tension, and financial uncertainty all around us. As I write this blog, I often ask myself: how do we keep the light of hope and faith alive? I struggle to convey a positive message, given the state of the world. However, I try to look at the small achievements and the breadth of work we do to keep that sliver of positivity alight.

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.'

At the crossroads of climate justice and migrant rights
Across our Yearly Meeting, the issues of climate justice and migrant rights are live concerns. Although they are often carried forward by different groups of Friends, they are somehow held invisibly together within our Quaker meetings. But in our wider communities, efforts to tackle these two issues aren't often unified, and it means that climate campaigning can sometimes feed into unintended harm on migrant issues.

The long-term cost of war: how sending landmines to Ukraine undermines the fight for a mine-free future
After I spoke on the radio back in 2023 about peace and pacifism in the context of the war in Ukraine, I had a Quaker get in touch with me. One problem with war, he said, was its corrupting nature "even on those whose cause, like the Ukrainians, is just". Over time, groups and countries can start to use tactics that they earlier condemned, such as the use of landmines.

Ending the fossil fuel era: 5 things the UK government can do in 2022
Today marks 100 days since the end of COP26. In his closing speech in Glasgow, COP26 President Alok Sharma told the world that the pledge to keep global temperature rises within 1.5°C "will only survive if we keep our promises; if we translate commitments into rapid action".100 days after those solemn words, what can be said about the UK's promises?
