The death penalty and the rejection of humanity at its heart
We feel that we should at this time declare once again our unwavering opposition to capital punishment. The sanctity of human life is one of the fundamentals of a Christian society and can in no circumstances be set aside. Our concern, therefore, is for all victims of violence, not only the murderer but also those who suffer by his act.The sanctioning by the State of the taking of human life has a debasing effect on the community, and tends to produce the very brutality which it seeks to prevent. We realise that many are sincerely afraid of the consequences if the death penalty is abolished, but we are convinced that their fears are unjustified.London Yearly Meeting, 1956

Telling our stories: exploring the Quaker way
One of the distinctive marks of Quaker faith is that it is rooted in personal experience and not in creeds or set forms of words. There is no checklist of things that everyone must believe in or agree to but rather an encouragement for each person to listen to and live by their own experience. We sometimes call this our 'inward light'.

Providing housing, making homes: Quaker Housing Trust celebrates 50 years of service
Housing is not just about providing 'bricks and mortar', but also about challenging inequalities and prejudices. This is reflected in the range of projects supported by and through Quaker Housing Trust (QHT), a national charity set up by Quakers in 1967.

The long-term cost of war: how sending landmines to Ukraine undermines the fight for a mine-free future
After I spoke on the radio back in 2023 about peace and pacifism in the context of the war in Ukraine, I had a Quaker get in touch with me. One problem with war, he said, was its corrupting nature "even on those whose cause, like the Ukrainians, is just". Over time, groups and countries can start to use tactics that they earlier condemned, such as the use of landmines.

Should Quakers eat less animal produce?
At Yearly Meeting in 2011 British Quakers adopted the 'Canterbury Commitment' where we pledged collectively to live our faith in action by becoming a 'low-carbon, sustainable community'. This called on us to respond to climate change in new and innovative ways. Quakers across the country are making steps to live out their faith on this issue, including campaigning for real political commitment to addressing climate change.

Poverty, austerity and choosing a different path
One piece of news which slipped by largely unnoticed among the political turmoil of the last few months was the release of a UN report on the state of poverty in the UK. In many ways this wasn't unusual. UN reports very rarely have the British press clamouring all over them. But, as the country seems to be inching closer to a no-deal Brexit that gambles "with the basic needs of our poorest citizens and communities", it's more vital than ever that we take heed of its findings.

Building understanding and tolerance in a divided society
We live in a divided society. We always have, to some extent, but it feels especially obvious right now. We will have to live with that, at least for the time being, but how can we do that positively? How can we build tolerance and understanding in such a situation?

Time to breathe
"Corrymeela begins when you leave", say the words carved into wood above the door. Corrymeela's residential centre near Ballycastle in Northern Ireland, was the setting for the first in-person gathering of the Peacebuilding Network (UK and Ireland). Corrymeela has been facilitating work on peace and reconciliation since 1965 before, during, and after the Troubles. As a membership organisation, it offers much more than a residential space but that's what we needed as we gathered together in warm May sunshine.
