Women's preaching still justified
Margaret Fell (1614-1702) was a key figure in the development of the early Quaker movement, handling money, letters, and practical support for people who felt led to preach the Quaker message. Quakers were criticised for allowing women to speak, and so – while she was in prison for allowing a Quaker meeting to be held in her home – Fell wrote a pamphlet, Women's speaking justified. In it she went through Biblical examples to show that women could, and always had, shared the word of God.

Syria: 6 things you can do
In recent weeks my mind has been occupied with thoughts of Syria.

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?

6 ways to make Quaker meeting houses more sustainable
There are many ways to take action against the climate crisis. More than 100 Quakers recently took part in a mass lobby of Parliament at Westminster, urging MPs to take action. Others have been involved in school strikes, anti-fracking action and activism with the growing Extinction Rebellion movement.It's also important to remember that the sustainability we might call for in other areas of our lives applies to our Quaker meetings and meeting houses as well. In my role I've come across many ways meetings are trying to make their properties more sustainable – and seen a lot of opportunities yet to be taken, too. Here are six ways to make a difference.

By popular demand: even more Quakers in fiction!
When I wrote a blog post about Quakers in fiction, I was happily deluged with emails from readers who had come across Quakers elsewhere in their literary adventures. There were some wonderfully esoteric titles – for example the (sadly now out-of-print) Colin Writes to Friends House (1934) by Elfrida Vipont – and plenty of interesting observations.

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.

6 ways our new government could build a peaceful and sustainable world
Now that the UK has a new government, many will be watching to see how Labour's campaign translates into reality. We'll be hoping, of course, that it will result in positive changes for two topics that perhaps were not as prominent in the election campaign as we would have liked: climate justice and peace.
