5 Take-aways from George Fox 400

Updated 24 March 2025

In 2024, Quakers around the world marked the 400th anniversary of the birth of George Fox, the best known of early Quakers. Celebrating the life of one man was a challenge to the Quaker testimony to equality, so focus was on the significant contribution he and others made to the beginnings of the Quaker movement. It was a chance to look back at how the religion started and celebrate the continued work of Quakers around the world for peace, truth and justice.

After the Gathering: 11 ways to live out our Quaker faith in the world

Updated 17 February 2020

I left Yearly Meeting Gathering with a sense of hope for the future. It took me a while to identify this, given that the daily news discourages a feeling as impertinent as hope. This Yearly Meeting Gathering was the culmination of a three-year arc looking at living out Quaker faith in the world, and it felt like many seeds for change were sown. Which of these seeds will grow? Which will take root? Which will flourish for years to come?

Updated 17 February 2020

What do we need to build a movement for social change? It's a question we should all ask ourselves if we are going to create the kind of society we wish to see. It's also something that African colleagues consider on a daily basis as they support local communities to take action for social change.

For the first time, women were explicitly included in the franchise for national elections. Many Quakers were involved in long-standing universal suffrage movements including Anne Knight, Alice Clark, Emily Ford, Hilda Clark, Helen Sturge and Edith Pye.

5 ways to support women in immigration detention this International Women’s Day

Created 7 March 2018

Earlier this year I celebrated the centenary of women's right to vote in the UK. I remembered, though, that not all UK women had that right even after 1918. Worse, the state continues to ignore the human rights of many women in the UK today.

Syria: 6 things you can do

Updated 19 April 2018

In recent weeks my mind has been occupied with thoughts of Syria. I have spent a lot of time reading the reactions of Syrian activists in the diaspora to the launch of airstrikes, and listening to what my Syrian friends thought, many of whom still have family living there. For those of us not directly impacted by the conflict, and who haven't experienced the unimaginable suffering and loss as a result, what can we do?

5 ways to make Quaker meeting houses work for the future

Updated 27 September 2018

I'm always a bit anxious when we spend time worrying about Quaker property. Early Quaker George Fox was disparaging about 'steeple houses'. In his radical vision, going to a physical church was not necessary to experience God. Really it's the community that makes up the church, not the premises it meets in.
