Inclusion and diversity: reflecting on our journey so far
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
[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]
Time for change: action not words

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
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.

Why I am still a pacifist
I became General Secretary of the Friends World Committee for Consultation in January of 2022, a role of service to the world's 400,000 or so Quakers, who collectively comprise one of the world's traditional peace churches.

Reflecting on COP28 – where next for climate justice?
Another set of annual UN climate talks has come to a close and many are sitting with mixed feelings. COP28 brought some unexpected welcome developments but it also saw a worrying increase in the potential for capture by the fossil fuel industry.

The women of Swarthmoor Hall
Swarthmoor Hall in Lancashire was the centre of early Quakerism. It overcame raids by the local constabulary, complaints from the neighbours and a long-running dispute over ownership to provide an information hub, a safe haven for travelling Friends and a place for worship.
