How Quakers are championing democracy
Quakers are known for their witness: living out their faith through action. Sometimes this action takes the form of campaigning and protesting. Our freedom to do these things is being threatened, but Quakers in Britain and other concerned groups are working together to do something about it.

Are you ready for 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.

Justice around the world: building back better for all
“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness." ― Howard Zinn, A Power Governments Cannot Suppress, 2007

The nuclear ban treaty: why international law matters
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will enter into force in international law on 22 January 2021. The government of the United Kingdom, a nation state with an active nuclear weapons capacity, has stated many times that it will not become a signatory. So why does a treaty which the UK rejects matter to us as Quakers?

Contacting your MP: why, when and how
Engaging with politicians is an important part of the witness, or faith-influenced activism, of many Quakers. Writing to an MP can help raise the profile of an issue and give the MP a mandate to take action on it. It's a vital way of bringing about change.

How Quakers in Devon secured a home for people seeking refuge
People travelling to the UK today in search of sanctuary are making journeys that take them across land and sea, and are too often greeted with hostility and violence. This continues to be the sad reality for many people seeking sanctuary from war, climate breakdown, exploitation and poverty – all too often a legacy of colonialism in their countries of origin. Quakers involved in countering the UK government's own 'hostile environment' policies know that it is essential to provide refugees with safe homes where they can live and recover.

Connecting with Quaker treasurers
Quaker treasurers play a key role, ensuring that not only their local or area meetings, but also Britain Yearly Meeting as a whole, continue to thrive. But the financial rollercoaster of the pandemic has made what can already be a demanding, time-pressured role more challenging

Reflecting on our action for the planet
Quakers do not have a creed, a statement that sums up our core beliefs, but for centuries we have used a short list of Advices and queries to guide us to question ourselves and discern how we are each led to act. Tellingly, they are offered 'for the comfort and discomfort of Friends' while we seek our own ways forward, listening for the inner Light.

Protecting the most vulnerable among us
A few years ago my partner and I cared for foster children. Our Quaker meeting has a great children's group and Sundays often saw us there – joining the 'adult' meeting as we all gathered; playing games in the children's group; and getting to know new friends. I think they learned about Quaker faith and values, but mostly they had fun. And that lovely experience opened my eyes to the importance of safeguarding in Quaker communities.
