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]

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.

Updated 14 March 2023

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.

Updated 7 March 2024

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.
