Nurturing the spiritual life of our communities
I am somebody who reflects on what is nourishing me spiritually quite regularly. Whether it be wild swimming, singing in harmony or a windy walk on the moors, I find a range of activities help fill up my spiritual cup. Quaker worship is an important part of my spiritual life and it is where I am part of an intergenerational community. I feel lucky that a large part of my role as a Local Development Worker is supporting Friends to ask the question 'what are we finding spiritually nourishing' – not as individuals but as a whole Quaker community.

When I ran workshops as part of the Exploring Faith and Climate Justice course in 2023, we talked about how the roots of our present-day climate issues could be traced back to historic practices of exploitation and extraction. I didn't expect that I would soon find such a clear example in my own campaigning work.

George Fox's 59 rules for good government
In 1659, England, Scotland and Ireland were once again in political turmoil. The head of state, Oliver Cromwell, had died the previous year and his successor, his son Richard, lacked his father's military credentials and parliamentary experience. Royalists hoped for a return to monarchy and radical groups, including Quakers, hoped for the revolutionary social reforms they had fought the civil wars for. Individuals from all angles were battling it out in words, writing pamphlets and letters to express their opinions.

Scary silence? 3 ways Quaker meeting for worship is both easy and hard
Quaker meeting for worship is meant to be about as simple as it's possible for a gathering of people to be. There's an appointed time and place so that we can actually get together, but after that, nothing is planned.

Women's preaching still justified
Margaret Fell (1614-1702) was a key figure in the development of the early Quaker movement, handling money, letters, and practical support for people who felt led to preach the Quaker message. Quakers were criticised for allowing women to speak, and so – while she was in prison for allowing a Quaker meeting to be held in her home – Fell wrote a pamphlet, Women's speaking justified. In it she went through Biblical examples to show that women could, and always had, shared the word of God.
