Military stand-off over Ukraine: 5 things you can do
On 25 January Quakers in Britain issued a statement urging all sides to "engage in urgent de-escalation and commit to resolving the stand-off over Ukraine peacefully". Since then, we have witnessed the continuation of the military build-up. Despite Russia's recent disputed announcement of a partial withdrawal of some troops, there is continued international concern that diplomacy may fail and that a terrible new war may break out.

Hope – the message of worldwide prayer
World Day of Prayer 2022 falls on 4 March. It aims to bring together women of various races, cultures and traditions in closer understanding. Each year a different country is selected to write the liturgy for a worldwide day of prayer and England, Wales and Northern Ireland had been chosen for 2022; the first time since 1945. WDP is an international ecumenical women's movement which began in the USA in 1887 and is celebrated annually in over 150 countries.

What does Quaker community look like in 2023?
Quakers are a worshipping community. Our simple way of worshipping, of seeking the leadings of the Spirit for us, depends on us coming together in groups. It is a corporate act, a recognition that the body has many members. We can worship individually, of course – and many Quakers have our own personal spiritual practices – but we recognise that seeking God's will for us is best done together.

Thinking of attending Yearly Meeting?
Are you coming to Yearly Meeting for the first time? Or maybe you have been before and are looking for the essential details on how to attend. Either way, welcome! It's wonderful to see so many Friends.

Preparing for Yearly Meeting through worship sharing
Yearly Meeting will be held at the end of April 2023. That may seem like a long time from now (it's only January!) but time steadily creeps on.We're asked to come to Yearly Meeting with hearts and minds prepared, and different people have different ways of preparing. Personally, I value worship sharing with other Friends. This is where members of a group share their thoughts and feelings on a particular subject, specifically within the structures of a period of Quaker worship.

The role of ordinary people
Ordinary people can do extraordinary things, for good and ill. We see this most starkly at extreme times, such as during the Nazi Holocaust of the 1940s. The UK remembers this each year on 27 January, and Quakers are invited to take part in Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations.

A youthful Yearly Meeting
Children and young people are a vital part of Yearly Meeting. They gather to look at its themes in age-appropriate ways, build community, explore Quaker faith and practice, experience worship and prayerful decision-making, and of course have lots of fun in a safe space.

Truth and integrity: exploring our Quaker concern
Truth and integrity is one of our Quaker testimonies. Sometimes it is expressed as the one, sometimes as the other, sometimes both. Over the last few years I have felt it speak more to me ever more strongly – partly because of the current political climate, and partly because of the twin cores of 'truth' and 'integrity'.

Children at Yearly Meeting: reflections from a parent

Your faith, your will
When I was in my late 20s, I managed to buy my small London flat. It was the late 90s and it was still possible to buy a flat on a charity worker's salary. I felt for the first time that I might have something of value to pass on to others – not only did I have the flat, but I also had a great collection of books, a musical instrument and one beautiful limited edition print I had bought at an art fair.
