A path to a better future: David Gray writes from Brummana High School in Lebanon
Lebanon is in a dilapidated state today, as indeed it has been for several years. It has suffered from a series of catastrophes: the overthrow of its government in 2019, the Beirut explosion of 2020, and the overwhelming economic collapse of 2019. This continues until today with rates of inflation still running at 190% and capital controls in the banks which have seen many people lose their entire life savings and, if they had them, their occupational pensions reduced to 5% of their actual value. For us in Lebanon the pandemic and subsequent lockdown were just another event but perhaps had less impact and preserved the peace in a way which would not be understood in the West.

Finance and false solutions at COP29
The atmosphere during the recent climate change Conference of Parties 29 (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, at times felt ominous. Trust between countries, always fragile, received hard blows.

A clarion call for climate justice
Arriving at the UN climate change talks (COP29) in Azerbaijan, a clarion of trumpets and beating drums echoed from large speakers, heralding the entrance to the conference complex. Listening each morning reminded me of the insistent and repeated demands from civil society and observers calling for just and equitable climate finance.

Remembering Srebrenica: 30 years on
Friday 11 July 2025 will mark 30 years since the massacre at Srebrenica, when over 8,000 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) men, and boys over 12, were murdered in the town in the worst single event of the Bosnian civil war of 1992–1995. Churches have come together to organise events to mark this anniversary, and we encourage Quakers to support them.

Gaza, remembered
On 4 November I, together with a few other Quakers, attended a service at St Martin-in-the-Fields in London organised by the British Palestinian Families Network. Its purpose was to ensure that what has happened in Gaza over the last two years will not be forgotten; and to start to shift attention towards what next.Representatives of many faiths and none were present, and speakers included Sam Wells (the vicar of St Martin's); Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian Ambassador to London; Layla Moran (the first British MP of Palestinian heritage); Sayeeda Warsi, baroness; Frank Dabba Smith, lecturer on the Holocaust at Leo Baeck College; and Rehena Harilall, from the Plum Village Buddhist community. We heard music and poems, including from bereaved family members and children. We saw pictures. Together we prayed for the future.
