It aims to provide a voice and a meeting space for the LGBT+ and queer community. This includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, intersex, transgender and gender non-binary Quakers, and Quakers interested in sexuality, gender identity and equality.

Truth and integrity: exploring our Quaker concern
Truth and integrity is one of our Quaker testimonies. Sometimes it is expressed as the one, sometimes as the other, sometimes both. Over the last few years I have felt it speak more to me ever more strongly – partly because of the current political climate, and partly because of the twin cores of 'truth' and 'integrity'.

Quaker funerals: community and contribution
I'm an elder of my local Quaker meeting at the moment, and have had the privilege of being responsible for the holding of two funeral meetings for worship in the last year. One was for someone who died in her late 90s; the other for an active woman whose life felt cut short by illness. Both were powerful, raw, moving occasions.

Times and seasons: A Quaker reflection on Christmas
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.
