A new approach to living out our faith in action

Updated 10 June 2021

Over the last month since the local elections I've been reflecting on a comment made several times by several Labour politicians, that "we need to spend less time talking to ourselves, and more time talking and working with those in the communities we seek to represent".

Living adventurously: a decade as Recording Clerk

Updated 6 May 2021

Ten years ago I took a deep breath and sat at my desk in Friends House for the first time. I'd never run an organisation before, and never worked outside the public sector. But I brought my experience of school leadership, several years of Quaker committee work and volunteering, and a sense of hope and a determination that Quakers should thrive in the 21st century.

Protecting the most vulnerable among us

Updated 11 February 2021

A few years ago my partner and I cared for foster children. Our Quaker meeting has a great children's group and Sundays often saw us there – joining the 'adult' meeting as we all gathered; playing games in the children's group; and getting to know new friends. I think they learned about Quaker faith and values, but mostly they had fun. And that lovely experience opened my eyes to the importance of safeguarding in Quaker communities.

Updated 12 June 2020

Our belief in the significance of every individual in the sight of God and their need for an abundant life can guide us even when we shrink before the vastness of the problem." – London Yearly Meeting 1952

Times and seasons: A Quaker reflection on Christmas

Updated 17 February 2020

Early Quakers did not observe Christmas nor mark other 'times and seasons'. They believed that no day was more holy than any other, and believed that each day, and all of life, was sacred (Quaker faith & practice 27.39 and 27.42). Today, as with so many things in the Quaker community, there is a full spectrum of practices and responses.
