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.

Why are there foodbanks in a rich country?

Updated 17 October 2018

Some decades ago, I remember seeing a picture of graffiti that said 'Nobody starves in the welfare state'. It wasn't a boast, or propaganda, but a protest. This seemed odd to me at the time: why on earth would people write that as a protest? It was explained to me that it illustrated bitterness that while the welfare state kept starvation at bay, many people were still in long-term poverty and living in pretty miserable conditions.

Revising Quaker faith & practice: appointing the committee

Updated 8 February 2019

Last year Quakers decided to revise Quaker faith & practice, our book of discipline. This isn't just a case of looking at the current book and changing the odd word here and there, adding a section or two about new topics, and removing anything that seems outdated.
