Reflections on the 2024 Labour Conference: change or business as usual?
If, as William Penn said, "true silence is to the spirit what sleep is to the body", then I suspect there are many attendees at the Labour conference in need of spiritual rest. As soon as I stepped onto the platform at Euston on Sunday morning the air of urgency was obvious. The train was packed with party members bumping shoulders with professional lobbyists, which made for some interesting overheard conversations.

Tangled roots: personal reflections on the Swarthmore Lecture
In the recent Swarthmore lecture, I explored how the complex mix of characteristics visible in the early Quaker movement continue to present us with important challenges and dilemmas today. In doing this, I didn't really talk about my personal response to these issues. However, in the book to accompany the lecture, I offer a number of personal reflections. In this blog, I will touch on some of these observations and share four short passages from the book, in the hope that this will encourage reflection not only about how the lecture relates to the Quaker way generally, but also to our individual experiences as Friends.

Bread Not Bombs: honouring those killed in war by preventing future war
Near the desk I usually sit at when working in Friends House, there's a poster featuring a wheatsheaf that reads: 'The hungry need bread not bombs. Stop the arms trade.' When I leave at the end of the day, I pass another poster. This one bears the photo of a young African girl drinking from a plastic bowl. It declares 'People need water not weapons.'

Building Quaker community
Every year I ponder what the theme will be for the new Contribution pack – the annual fundraising appeal of Quakers in Britain. I think about what's going on in the world, the economy, or, from a more personal viewpoint, whether I want it to be hopeful, to convey a story, or be inspirational.
