Hope is our covenant: reparations reflections
“The healing power of redemptive love lures us and calls us toward the possibility of healing... The persistence of this call gives us reason to hope. Without hope, we cannot return to love…Renewing our faith in love's promise, hope is our covenant."

The quick and the good: building a peace that lasts
For those who care about peace in the world and the equal worth of all people, these are troubling times. As one Quaker put it recently, the constant barrage of attacks on our testimonies creates a spiritual as well as political crisis.

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.

Love Your Neighbour, but struggle with Scripture?
This year's theme for World Quaker Day and Quaker Week is 'Love Your Neighbour'. It's a positive and caring message, and not exclusively a religious one. Most people of all faiths and none would agree that it's a good idea, even if it does raise the question posed to Jesus in Luke 10:29: “And who is my neighbour?"

Speaking up about sanism: love as social action
Quakers have a long tradition of engagement around mental health. If we want to plot a timeline, then the founding of The Retreat in 1792 by Yorkshire Quaker William Tuke provides a cornerstone. It was the first establishment of its kind to assume recovery from mental illness was possible, notable for treating residents with sympathy, respect and dignity. These shifts had a profound influence on public opinion, foreshadowing fundamental reform of the laws relating to mental illness and its treatment.Fast forward two and a half centuries and The Retreat is now a Quaker Recognised Body providing specialist mental health services for people with complex and challenging needs.

5 reasons to celebrate the work of nominations committees
I fell in love with nominations when I started to work for Britain Yearly Meeting. In that role I was secretary to Central Nominations Committee, the committee that nominates Friends to coordinate Quaker work across Britain. This includes roles developing Quaker communities, supporting peace and social witness work, building connections with other faiths, as well as roles that help our faith directly, such as clerk of Yearly Meeting.

5 reasons to go to Quaker meeting (number 5 is a surprise)
Quaker meeting for worship involves sitting together with others, either in a room or online, and trying to access stillness and silence in order to listen deeply. The aim is to hear what love and truth are saying to us, which many Quakers understand as God speaking in our hearts. That's pretty vague, though. Why specifically might you want to try meeting for worship for the first time?
