How are Quakers meeting? A summer snapshot from around Britain
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.

Why compassion needs to be at the heart of our response to Channel crossings
Over the past months hundreds of fragile, overloaded boats have made the perilous crossing over the English Channel in search of refuge. For many of the men, women and children on board this is the last stage of a dangerous journey that may have taken them months or even years. They have been fleeing from war torn countries such as Syria, Sudan, Libya and Iraq, from repressive states such as Eritrea, and from countries like Mali where climate change and political unrest put lives at risk.

Racial justice learning for Quakers: a reflection
During June and July I joined approximately 80 other Quakers in a series of five online workshops initiated in response to the killing of George Floyd, and the growth of Black Lives Matter protests in the UK. I didn't believe that I was racist; I certainly didn't want to identify as racist, but I knew that I might be clumsily unaware of some of the challenges faced by people of colour. I hoped that the workshops would increase my understanding and develop greater insight into effective allyship.

6 principles for a green and just recovery
MPs and Peers returned to Parliament last week with a busy autumn ahead of them. Key milestones will include the Budget, expected in October or November amid a major recession, and the end of the transition period, probably with no agreement in place.

Roots and branches: sharing and supporting our Quaker work
I still remember how inspired I was when I read a particular letter from a donor to Britain Yearly Meeting.

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.

Journey to COP26: an inner journey
The climate emergency is too big. As just two individuals, it overwhelms us and we feel paralysed. Why then do we feel compelled to do something despite the enormity of the challenge? After all we are optimists, and the most destructive effects will probably not be felt in the UK in our lifetime. It is complex. Wanting to do the best for our children, wanting to be able to look young people in the eye and say we tried. These are some of the things that help counter the feeling of insignificance. We want to be able to make a difference.

Living adventurously: a decade as Recording Clerk
Ten years ago I took a deep breath and sat at my desk in Friends House for the first time. I'd never run an organisation before, and never worked outside the public sector. But I brought my experience of school leadership, several years of Quaker committee work and volunteering, and a sense of hope and a determination that Quakers should thrive in the 21st century.

Racial injustice and the Policing Bill
The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill aims to equip the police with new powers, introduce tougher sentencing where serious harm has occurred and modernise existing court processes. Quakers have many issues with this bill, and recent blogs have explored the impact on the right to protest and action you can take. This blog focusses on how the bill embeds racism further within the criminal justice system (CJS).

Targets vs delivery: addressing Scotland’s greenhouse gas emissions
Recently Scotland published its greenhouse gas emissions statistics for 2020. These data showed a fall in emissions, and yet many, including myself, hold serious concerns that Scotland will not meet its ambitious climate targets.
