Are you ready for 2021?

Updated 11 January 2021

Are you ready for 2021, or are you still reeling from 2020? The pandemic, like a powerful lens, has shown up more clearly many of the challenges we already knew we faced – both inside our Quaker community and in the world around us. In this blog I want to take a look at some of those challenges, and consider the questions we need to ask ourselves in order to meet them.

Fragments of truth: putting a spotlight on arms sales to Yemen

Updated 5 March 2021

Imagine that you're sitting quietly in your apartment. You get a call telling you of a bomb outrage. A crowded bus blown up. An occasion for dismay, horror – but action? What could be required of you? What help could you possibly bring?

The changing shape of Quaker meetings

Updated 8 April 2022

Our Tabular Statement is the annual report of all Quakers in Britain, the closest thing Quakers have to a census. Every year, area meetings send in a report which shares the overall numbers of members and attenders, and the changes that meetings have recorded in the previous twelve months.

Racial injustice and the Policing Bill

Updated 23 June 2021

The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill aims to equip the police with new powers, introduce tougher sentencing where serious harm has occurred and modernise existing court processes. Quakers have many issues with this bill, and recent blogs have explored the impact on the right to protest and action you can take. This blog focusses on how the bill embeds racism further within the criminal justice system (CJS).

WDP is an international ecumenical women's movement which began in the USA in 1887 and is celebrated annually in over 150 countries.

Will COP27 deliver a loss and damage fund?

Updated 3 November 2022

The next chapter in the struggle for loss and damage finance is about to take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of campaigners and Global South countries, the issue is on the provisional agenda for COP27. This still has to be agreed by parties at the beginning of the summit, but there appears to be little appetite for a long argument over the agenda.

All change please!

Updated 29 November 2022

What is a book of discipline? To modern ears it might sound like a penal handbook, but the 'discipline' of the book's title actually refers to discipleship – the process of learning from and growing in the Spirit. The book describes both our faith – through the experience of Quakers – and our organisation – the structures and practices of our church and charity.

Alone, together: Quaker communities for climate justice

Updated 29 November 2023

Caring can be a lonely business. For those of us who care about climate justice, it can feel very isolating to see people around us continuing as though nothing is happening. We can feel ashamed or paralysed if we can't convert that care into action. Following 'The Big One' Extinction Rebellion protest in London in April, a Quaker told me that the real challenge wasn't the protest – it was coming home.

5 solidarity actions you can take for Palestine and Israel

Updated 6 November 2023

The scale of the violence and harm to civilians is unprecedented and unlike anything in living memory. Hospitals, schools, places of worship, roads, and homes have been decimated, and civilians have been targeted. Faith groups and human rights agencies across the world have called on the international community to act immediately to secure a ceasefire and work to ensure humanitarian aid and access.
