Stepping forward for peace: a public display of unity and peace
In 2012, at 28 years old, I stood just behind the fountains at Trafalgar Square waiting for a taxi to arrive. It was early April, bright and cold. The square was busy, as it often is, but today was different. Instead of the movement and transient atmosphere, people were sat down facing a stage in front of the fountain.

Witnessing for peace at Yearly Meeting
There are 110 armed conflicts currently happening across the world. Each will have its victims – the combatants, civilians, families, children, plus the impact on the economic, emotional and cultural life of the countries at war. Britain is not at war, but we too can see the effects of money spent on arms and of a mindset that war is a valid way of achieving aims.

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.

Love around the table: food security and climate justice
"I was farming water. I wasn't farming soil. My dad got flooded once in 1981, but since 2000, I've lost count of the amount of times that I've been flooded."These were the words of Colin Chappell, arable farmer in Lincolnshire, about the 2023 flooding. He's not alone. Paul Behrens, a professor at the University of Oxford who works on food security, offered this quote as an example at the recent National Emergency Briefing on climate change and the UK.

Santa Marta and the great transition away from fossil fuels
The Santa Marta conference opens in Colombia on Friday 24 April. I was glad when it was announced at the end of the COP30 climate talks in Brazil, last November, as a way for countries that are serious about getting off fossil fuels quickly and fairly to plan how to do it together – without getting bogged down at COP with the likes of Russia and Saudi Arabia. It'll report back to COP but offers a faster path.
