Preparing for Yearly Meeting through worship sharing
Yearly Meeting will be held at the end of April 2023. That may seem like a long time from now (it's only January!) but time steadily creeps on.We're asked to come to Yearly Meeting with hearts and minds prepared, and different people have different ways of preparing. Personally, I value worship sharing with other Friends. This is where members of a group share their thoughts and feelings on a particular subject, specifically within the structures of a period of Quaker worship.

Ordinary people can do extraordinary things, for good and ill. We see this most starkly at extreme times, such as during the Nazi Holocaust of the 1940s. The UK remembers this each year on 27 January, and Quakers are invited to take part in Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations.

Why should we protest against DSEI?
In 2019, when I was 15, I attended a protest against the Defence and Security Equipment International arms fair (DSEI) alongside hundreds of peace activists, many of whom were Quakers.

Our everyday essentials: Human Rights Day 2026
Human Rights Day on 10 December feels like a chance to celebrate what we have and promote a positive vision of what we want, counter to a popular narrative that human rights are a hindrance rather than vital necessity.

Women's preaching still justified
Margaret Fell (1614-1702) was a key figure in the development of the early Quaker movement, handling money, letters, and practical support for people who felt led to preach the Quaker message. Quakers were criticised for allowing women to speak, and so – while she was in prison for allowing a Quaker meeting to be held in her home – Fell wrote a pamphlet, Women's speaking justified. In it she went through Biblical examples to show that women could, and always had, shared the word of God.
