Join the JustMoney Movement
The cost of living crisis – hot on the heels of the Covid-19 pandemic – has us all talking more about money. The price of food in the shops, the cost of our public services, the vast inequalities in our society. Money is a hot topic – but it can be hard to know where to start in understanding finance and economics, let alone doing anything about it.

A testimony of divine grace: Quakers and same-sex marriage
Quakers have always diligently written tracts, pamphlets and books, including those about sexuality. Work to produce Towards a Quaker View of Sex began in 1957, and it was published in 1963. It was the first religious text to positively explore same-sex relationships, stating: “It is the nature and quality of a relationship that matters… The same criteria seem to us to apply whether a relationship is heterosexual or homosexual."

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.

Love around the table: food security and climate justice
"I was farming water. I wasn't farming soil. My dad got flooded once in 1981, but since 2000, I've lost count of the amount of times that I've been flooded."These were the words of Colin Chappell, arable farmer in Lincolnshire, about the 2023 flooding. He's not alone. Paul Behrens, a professor at the University of Oxford who works on food security, offered this quote as an example at the recent National Emergency Briefing on climate change and the UK.

Santa Marta and the great transition away from fossil fuels
The Santa Marta conference opens in Colombia on Friday 24 April. I was glad when it was announced at the end of the COP30 climate talks in Brazil, last November, as a way for countries that are serious about getting off fossil fuels quickly and fairly to plan how to do it together – without getting bogged down at COP with the likes of Russia and Saudi Arabia. It'll report back to COP but offers a faster path.
