Marple Quakers and Methodists hold a joint service
In January Marple Quakers and Marple joined with Marple Methodists for a shared service. This had been a regular annual event until the disruptions of 2020 - so all were very pleased to do it again!

Tangled roots: personal reflections on the Swarthmore Lecture
In the recent Swarthmore lecture, I explored how the complex mix of characteristics visible in the early Quaker movement continue to present us with important challenges and dilemmas today. In doing this, I didn't really talk about my personal response to these issues. However, in the book to accompany the lecture, I offer a number of personal reflections. In this blog, I will touch on some of these observations and share four short passages from the book, in the hope that this will encourage reflection not only about how the lecture relates to the Quaker way generally, but also to our individual experiences as Friends.

Learning from and praying for the women of Nigeria: World Day of Prayer 2026
I'm happy to be your Quaker appointed representative on the joyful, wonderful and inspiring World Day of Prayer Committee for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Each year, the WDP service is created by the women in a different country – in 2024 it was Palestine, last year it was Cook Islands, and this year we are hearing from Nigeria. 2027 will be the centenary year! The service features songs, prayers and stories from the focus country, to help us feel connected across the world. I try to immerse myself in learning as much as I can about the country featured, because it's an interactive process. I get the most from the WDP services when I get really involved. This year I'll be wearing Nigerian dress and headscarf, and as part of the service, I'll be reading the words of a Nigerian woman.

Quakers and the upcoming general election
A general election is a great opportunity for us all to influence how our country is run. At Quakers in Britain we've developed some materials to help Quaker individuals, groups and meetings engage with their local candidates and communities. You can find all the information at www.quaker.org.uk/vote.

Stepping forward for peace: a public display of unity and peace
In 2012, at 28 years old, I stood just behind the fountains at Trafalgar Square waiting for a taxi to arrive. It was early April, bright and cold. The square was busy, as it often is, but today was different. Instead of the movement and transient atmosphere, people were sat down facing a stage in front of the fountain.

Bread Not Bombs: honouring those killed in war by preventing future war
Near the desk I usually sit at when working in Friends House, there's a poster featuring a wheatsheaf that reads: 'The hungry need bread not bombs. Stop the arms trade.' When I leave at the end of the day, I pass another poster. This one bears the photo of a young African girl drinking from a plastic bowl. It declares 'People need water not weapons.'

Meeting for Sufferings: a changing body for changing times
At Yearly Meeting 2024 Friends will be asked to consider whether to make significant changes to our structures for corporate decision making. Part of the proposal is to lay down Meeting for Sufferings and instead to hold Yearly Meeting sessions four times a year. These continuing Yearly Meeting sessions would be open to all Friends, as well as involving representatives from Area Meetings.

Connecting with Quaker treasurers
Quaker treasurers play a key role, ensuring that not only their local or area meetings, but also Britain Yearly Meeting as a whole, continue to thrive. But the financial rollercoaster of the pandemic has made what can already be a demanding, time-pressured role more challenging
