A Quaker take on Easter

Updated 1 April 2021

In its earliest days, Quakerism was rooted deeply in the Christian story. The language, imagery and ideals that shaped the early Quaker community were deeply influenced by the Bible, both the old and new testaments.

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.

Migrant rights are human rights

Updated 29 November 2023

While it has gained increased political and press attention in recent years, the movement across national borders of people who do not qualify for refugee status is not a new phenomenon. Neither is the call to advocate for those people, and to ask that every person who migrates, regardless of their circumstances, is treated with humanity, dignity and kindness.

The current political crisis is a failure of leadership right across UK politics. In both Parliament and Government we have seen a lack of forethought.

Quaker marriage: a history of celebrating a spiritual commitment

Updated 18 May 2023

The first Quaker marriages in England were not strictly legal, at least according to English law. According to Scottish law, Quaker marriages were considered "irregular" – legal, but not quite the same as a church marriage. In the 1650s, when Quakerism first began, the Anglican church was still the authority in England. People were required to worship in church every Sunday, and it was in the parish church that marriages took place and were officially recorded.

9 voices the Department for Education would ban from schools

Updated 8 October 2020

Recent Department for Education guidance tells headteachers in England to ensure external organisations, speakers and resources do not take "extremist" stances. These include a stated desire to abolish capitalism and "a failure to condemn illegal activities done in support of their cause". The guidance also bans "victim narratives that are harmful to British society".

Why we’re calling for polluters to pay for the damage they cause

Updated 23 September 2021

We all know the impacts of the climate crisis are getting worse. With wildfires, catastrophic floods and the first famine attributed solely to climate change, 2021 has been a terrifying parade of fossil-fuelled disasters. But what happens to the people on the receiving end of this loss and damage?
