Quaker marriage: a history of celebrating a spiritual commitment
The first Quaker marriages in England were not strictly legal, at least according to English law. According to Scottish law, Quaker marriages were considered "irregular" – legal, but not quite the same as a church marriage. In the 1650s, when Quakerism first began, the Anglican church was still the authority in England. People were required to worship in church every Sunday, and it was in the parish church that marriages took place and were officially recorded.

Tackling the climate emergency: what can councils do?
An immense shift is taking place. In less than a year more than half the UK's local authorities have declared a 'climate emergency'.

What is climate justice?
First written about over two decades ago and enshrined in the Bali principles of climate justice (PDF) in 2002, the term climate justice is increasingly used when we talk about climate change and the environment. But what does it mean?

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".

Why we’re calling for polluters to pay for the damage they cause
We all know the impacts of the climate crisis are getting worse. With wildfires, catastrophic floods and the first famine attributed solely to climate change, 2021 has been a terrifying parade of fossil-fuelled disasters. But what happens to the people on the receiving end of this loss and damage?

Quakers and their meeting houses
Writing a book is a strange thing to do at the best of times. I'm someone who is used to writing, but usually in short bursts of perhaps a couple of thousand words. To sign up to produce a book of 50 or 60 thousand words with 200 illustrations is quite daunting.

Inclusion and diversity: reflecting on our journey so far
I began working for Quakers in Britain in June 2018. I was drawn to the role by an advert that asked for help, a recruitment process that included a range of staff, and the chance to work in a faith organisation I had briefly encountered before.

Would Little Amal go to Rwanda this year?
Last year, many British Quakers took part in or witnessed a series of events throughout Britain in which a 3m tall puppet, Little Amal, journeyed from the Syrian border via Dover to Manchester, joining in events and rallies during her journey. Amal symbolised the search for a new life of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers. The events were inspiring and full of hope.

Will COP27 deliver a loss and damage fund?
The next chapter in the struggle for loss and damage finance is about to take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of campaigners and Global South countries, the issue is on the provisional agenda for COP27. This still has to be agreed by parties at the beginning of the summit, but there appears to be little appetite for a long argument over the agenda.
