Quaker Question Time: listening and learning together
"Love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." -- Rainer Maria Rilke
Quaker Question Time: listening and learning together
9 voices the Department for Education would ban from schools
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".

How Quakers in Devon secured a home for people seeking refuge
People travelling to the UK today in search of sanctuary are making journeys that take them across land and sea, and are too often greeted with hostility and violence. This continues to be the sad reality for many people seeking sanctuary from war, climate breakdown, exploitation and poverty – all too often a legacy of colonialism in their countries of origin. Quakers involved in countering the UK government's own 'hostile environment' policies know that it is essential to provide refugees with safe homes where they can live and recover.

Getting to the root of things: peace, crime and justice
Hundreds of years ago, one of the founders of Quakerism, George Fox, claimed that it was possible to live a life with a 'power that took away the occasion of all wars'.For Quakers then and Quakers today, this means that we want to end not just a particular war, but also the root causes of war. In the same way, we want to take away the root causes of all crime.

Protecting the right to protest: action you can take
The recent vote on the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill was deeply worrying. If the bill became law, it would severely limit the right to protest. It would also criminalise Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities' way of life, introduce draconian prison sentences for certain crimes, and expand 'stop and search'.

Sowing the seeds of Quakerism
Have you planted any seeds this year? Some people have found solace in gardening during lockdowns. For me gardening has been good for my wellbeing. When I touch the soil I picture the plant that I am cultivating coming into bloom. Others have had more time to take care of house plants and window boxes. Maybe you've planted metaphorical seeds: ideas, projects, relationships. Maybe someone planted a seed in your mind.

Crunch time for Policing Bill
The Policing Bill is a massive piece of legislation that includes many measures that go against Quaker values. These include longer sentences, expanding stop-and-search powers, restricting protest, and criminalising trespass. A lot of these will disproportionately affect people from marginalised communities.

Last push to defend our right to protest
Last week we had a huge success on the protest part of the Policing Bill. Members of the House of Lords defeated almost all of the government's last-minute attempts to change the bill, and opposition Peers introduced some of their own improvements.

The slide to authoritarianism: what's next in parliament?
The government crammed a huge amount of legislation into the last parliamentary session. Most of it passed through the two chambers without being changed very much in the process.

Would Little Amal go to Rwanda this year?
Last year, many British Quakers took part in or witnessed a series of events throughout Britain in which a 3m tall puppet, Little Amal, journeyed from the Syrian border via Dover to Manchester, joining in events and rallies during her journey. Amal symbolised the search for a new life of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers. The events were inspiring and full of hope.
