Witnessing for peace at a time of Remembrance
As Remembrance Day approaches Quakers may find themselves having to consider whether or not to attend community commemorations, church services, parades or participate in wreath-laying. As Quakers, our natural inclination is to stay away from events which seem to glorify Britain's military past. Instead we may wish to focus on events that focus on the cost of war, and that encourage people to work for peace.

Towards equality: a Quaker campaign for a Land Value Tax
UPDATE: An information sheet Towards equality: the hidden value of property(PDF) is now available. There is inequality in land ownership and land is seen as a private resource rather than a collective one. Jocelyn Gaskell of Yealand Local Meeting is hoping to challenge this with a Land Value Tax campaign. She invites others to join her.

Inclusion and diversity: reflecting on our journey so far
I began working for Quakers in Britain in June 2018. I was drawn to the role by an advert that asked for help, a recruitment process that included a range of staff, and the chance to work in a faith organisation I had briefly encountered before.
