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.

Witnessing against the arms trade at DSEI
"Our Quaker community is a gathering together of peacemakers. We gather, we sit together in silent worship, and we disperse again, knowing that the work of peace cannot be accomplished in our meeting houses, it can only begin there. We are convinced that the making of peace demands us to return to our world in love, to stand firm in public, to confront the “powers and principalities", and to assert that in this time of permanent war, no government which involves itself in the arms trade, no government relying on and colluding with a militarised system, can govern well or for the benefit of all. We are resolute and will not submit before a governing hand that subsidises, facilitates and profits from the sale of weapons to ruthless dictators in our name." – Part of Quaker Roots Epistle, a grassroots network of Quakers.

Military stand-off over Ukraine: 5 things you can do
On 25 January Quakers in Britain issued a statement urging all sides to "engage in urgent de-escalation and commit to resolving the stand-off over Ukraine peacefully". Since then, we have witnessed the continuation of the military build-up. Despite Russia's recent disputed announcement of a partial withdrawal of some troops, there is continued international concern that diplomacy may fail and that a terrible new war may break out.

From the white board to the silver screen – filming peace education in the classroom
"Initially I was really sceptical, 6 and 7 year olds talking about peace? I thought no, that's not going to work. But just within the space of a few weeks, doing regular Peacemaker circle times I saw the difference." – Samantha Duda Spencer, Year 3 teacher.

People-to-people diplomacy with Russian people
This initiative is an example of people-to-people diplomacy, also called citizen diplomacy. It describes the simple and sincere connections that members of the general public can make with others, despite obstacles caused by war and conflict. Diplomacy has many facets, and unlike traditional government diplomacy, this is open to anyone. It is one way that individuals can help create conditions for enduring peace.

Why are Quakers involved in Churches Together?
Sometimes it can be tough to be the Quaker rep at a local 'Churches Together' group. Sometimes headlines at national or international level concerning other churches cause some Friends to ask why we bother.

Building hope for a peaceful world
In recent years the world has experienced various calamities, from a global pandemic to devastating wildfires, the war in Ukraine, and the climate crisis. How can a person keep on facing the many problems that require monumental resolutions? My answer is simple: hope.

Nurturing the spiritual life of our communities
I am somebody who reflects on what is nourishing me spiritually quite regularly. Whether it be wild swimming, singing in harmony or a windy walk on the moors, I find a range of activities help fill up my spiritual cup. Quaker worship is an important part of my spiritual life and it is where I am part of an intergenerational community. I feel lucky that a large part of my role as a Local Development Worker is supporting Friends to ask the question 'what are we finding spiritually nourishing' – not as individuals but as a whole Quaker community.

Join the JustMoney Movement
The cost of living crisis – hot on the heels of the Covid-19 pandemic – has us all talking more about money. The price of food in the shops, the cost of our public services, the vast inequalities in our society. Money is a hot topic – but it can be hard to know where to start in understanding finance and economics, let alone doing anything about it.

Taking my seat again: four years being Churches Together in England's 'Empty Chair' President
Four and a half years ago I set up a blog. It was to be called 'Adventures in Ecumenism' and I was planning to explore and share my work as one of the Presidents of Churches Together in England. Sadly, this turned out to be horribly premature: I was not able to take up the role of Fourth President of CTE. Having instead just finished my role as convenor of the Fourth Presidency Group of churches, I'm looking back at that time, what's happened since, and the impacts – both harmful and hopeful – that emerged from that decision.
