How are Quakers meeting? A summer snapshot from around Britain

Updated 13 August 2020

A joy and privilege of my work is spending time in the lives of Quaker meetings. Over the last few months, I've seen Quakers respond creatively, faithfully and lovingly to the challenges presented by Covid-19. This has led to worship happening in ways most of us would scarcely have dreamt of a year ago.

How young people are making change happen in Rwanda

Updated 30 March 2021

I'm a Quaker from Rwanda and have done peace work for many years. Together with my colleagues, I train young people on how to take nonviolent action, mediate conflicts or help others with healing from trauma. Over the years I have learned that in Rwanda justice campaigns are much more effective if they are supported or even led by young people.

Last push to defend our right to protest

Updated 16 February 2022

Last week we had a huge success on the protest part of the Policing Bill. Members of the House of Lords defeated almost all of the government's last-minute attempts to change the bill, and opposition Peers introduced some of their own improvements.

Inclusion and diversity: reflecting on our journey so far

Updated 10 March 2022

I began working for Quakers in Britain in June 2018. I was drawn to the role by an advert that asked for help, a recruitment process that included a range of staff, and the chance to work in a faith organisation I had briefly encountered before.

Becoming an anti-racist faith community

Updated 15 May 2025

[QUOTE-START] Tackling racism is a spiritual imperative…We may not be ready, we may not feel that we are ready, but this next step we take in faith and trust that the Spirit will show us what we need to do. We declare our commitment to becoming an actively anti-racist faith community. We are still wrestling with what this means for us. - Minute 17, Yearly Meeting 2021 [QUOTE-END]

A youthful Yearly Meeting

Updated 1 March 2023

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.

From policy to practice: safeguarding the most vulnerable

Updated 14 March 2023

It only seems a moment ago that I was confined during lockdown and working on the York Area Meeting safeguarding policy. But time goes on quickly and I see from my notes that it has been three years. This short article is an account of my personal journey with safeguarding and that of my team. I will try to provide a pen portrait of what we have learnt, what we have achieved and *spoiler alert* why I'm proud of it.

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.

Why friendship needs to underpin our action

Updated 1 August 2023

I recently heard peacebuilder Scilla Elworthy talk of observing "what breaks your heart", as there you'll find the anger and energy to act. I love that idea. But I want to add to it. If we want to take action, we not only need to find what breaks our hearts, we also need to seek and nurture friendships. They open our minds, nourish our souls and sustain us.
