6 things you never knew were invented by Quakers
Throughout history Quakers have been open to practical experimentation as well as spiritual, and have had a hand in a number of inventions of note. Here is a list of my personal favourites.

A brief history of Quakers and banking
Alongside famous manufacturing businesses with Quaker origins like Cadbury, Rowntree's and Clarks, there are two other household names whose early success was built by Quakers: Lloyds and Barclays. These big names in banking might not occur to you when you think of Quaker values of peace, equality and sustainability, but both were established by Quaker families. Though they no longer have a Quaker connection, Lloyds was formed in 1765, while Barclays began back in 1690.

Thoughts on online meeting for worship
This week I attended my first ever online meeting for worship. To my slight surprise it was a warm and spirited experience.

Racial justice learning for Quakers: a reflection
During June and July I joined approximately 80 other Quakers in a series of five online workshops initiated in response to the killing of George Floyd, and the growth of Black Lives Matter protests in the UK. I didn't believe that I was racist; I certainly didn't want to identify as racist, but I knew that I might be clumsily unaware of some of the challenges faced by people of colour. I hoped that the workshops would increase my understanding and develop greater insight into effective allyship.

Why protest shouldn’t be prevented
A key part of Quaker faith is putting that faith into action, trying to change the world using nonviolent methods. For a religion that believes all people have value as children of God, using violence to force change is off the agenda.

Now is the time to act on the Policing Bill
The next few weeks are crucial in persuading MPs to challenge the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill. Quakers in Britain will be lobbying on this at a national level, but we need your help to persuade your local MP to speak out against the bill.

Everyday solidarity: love in action
Solidarity has been on my mind.The word solidarity has a rich history that dates back to Roman times and laws. For me it conjures thoughts, feelings, and actions that are rooted in mutuality, cooperation, and a sense of love or care for one another.

Witnessing against the arms trade at DSEI
"Our Quaker community is a gathering together of peacemakers. We gather, we sit together in silent worship, and we disperse again, knowing that the work of peace cannot be accomplished in our meeting houses, it can only begin there. We are convinced that the making of peace demands us to return to our world in love, to stand firm in public, to confront the “powers and principalities", and to assert that in this time of permanent war, no government which involves itself in the arms trade, no government relying on and colluding with a militarised system, can govern well or for the benefit of all. We are resolute and will not submit before a governing hand that subsidises, facilitates and profits from the sale of weapons to ruthless dictators in our name." – Part of Quaker Roots Epistle, a grassroots network of Quakers.

Being a trustee: an experience of Quaker service
A new Clerk of Trustees will begin service in January 2023. As the current clerk I can thoroughly recommend the role, it's quite a bit of work but I can honestly say that I am enjoying it. I find it truly satisfying to know that I am doing my part to help secure the future of Quakers in Britain.

COP26 is over: where next for climate justice?
The Quakers in Britain team went to COP26 with hope but in the almost certain knowledge that it wouldn't deliver everything we wanted. We were part of a large movement of people and communities around the world calling for loss and damage finance – support for those hurt first and worst by the climate crisis. People and planet have been failed, again. But it is not the end.
