Journey to COP26: an inner journey

Updated 16 April 2021

The climate emergency is too big. As just two individuals, it overwhelms us and we feel paralysed. Why then do we feel compelled to do something despite the enormity of the challenge? After all we are optimists, and the most destructive effects will probably not be felt in the UK in our lifetime. It is complex. Wanting to do the best for our children, wanting to be able to look young people in the eye and say we tried. These are some of the things that help counter the feeling of insignificance. We want to be able to make a difference.

Reflecting on our action for the planet

Updated 3 February 2021

Quakers do not have a creed, a statement that sums up our core beliefs, but for centuries we have used a short list of Advices and queries to guide us to question ourselves and discern how we are each led to act. Tellingly, they are offered 'for the comfort and discomfort of Friends' while we seek our own ways forward, listening for the inner Light.

How are Quakers meeting? A summer snapshot from around Britain

Updated 13 August 2020

A joy and privilege of my work is spending time in the lives of Quaker meetings. Over the last few months, I've seen Quakers respond creatively, faithfully and lovingly to the challenges presented by Covid-19. This has led to worship happening in ways most of us would scarcely have dreamt of a year ago.

Updated 17 August 2017

Until recently my nine-year-old daughter has been the only child in our meeting. We first started worshipping there in the months before she was born and I took her, usually sleeping in her car seat, when she was just a few weeks old.

Updated 18 February 2020

“I'm 66 years old, but my skin is still young. I think that's because of my work as a peacebuilder." Sizeli, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, says this to me with a big smile on his face.

Are Sundays more sacred?

Updated 25 July 2019

“Now there were many old people who went into the chapel and looked out at the windows, thinking it a strange thing to see a man preach on a hill, and not in their church, as they called it; whereupon I was moved to open to the people that the steeple-house, and the ground whereon it stood were no more holy than that mountain…" (George Fox, Firbank Fell, 1694)

Navigating uncertain waters: Covid-19 and inequality

Updated 9 April 2020

Policies that show generosity towards asylum seekers make some European politicians very nervous, which is why some of what we have seen in Europe in the last few days is so remarkable. The deportation of asylum seekers is being suspended (Germany), immigration detainees are being released (Italy), homeless people are being housed (France), and some are being given temporary asylum (Portugal).

Updated 20 April 2020

There I was, on 29 February 2020, with around 20 Quaker prison chaplains and other Friends who work in the field of criminal justice, at the Quakers in Criminal Justice conference. We were watching 'Lock Down', a new play by Journeymen Theatre, about Ron, serving a life sentence, and Kathy, a newly appointed Quaker prison chaplain.
