Spiritual support for climate action
“Can our anger, grief and love push us forward to renewed action?" – Minute 33: Faith-based action for climate justice, Yearly Meeting Gathering 2021 Anger, grief and love can push us towards action but they can also make us feel helpless in the face of the climate crisis. Anger and grief can also overwhelm us when, despite our actions, change is still painfully slow. Our love for a person or a place hurts when we think about what might happen in the future. A focus on action only can leave us without anything to sustain us when things get tough.

Love and giving – the will to nurture life
Love and fundraising don't seem like natural bedfellows to most of us. But on the front of our latest contributions leaflet, we quote from Quaker faith & practice 22.42 “Love is the will to nurture life and growth in oneself and in another". Without the love that prompts individuals, meetings and funders to make gifts of money and time, national Quaker work simply could not function, particularly in what has been another challenging year.

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.

Truth and integrity in a time of climate crisis
It was reported in January that the 'carbon offsets' approved by the world's biggest certification provider are largely worthless. The investigation into rainforest carbon offset credits approved by Verra found that more than 90% of the credits offered did not represent real carbon reductions.

Solidarity, friendship and faith in climate justice
'Solidarity' is a term that is often used in conversations around climate and social justice. We send our solidarity to those suffering on the climate frontline in the Global South, to those who are displaced by extreme weather events and to those protesting fossil fuels projects that will devastate their local environment.

Reparations: addressing harm and restoring right relationships
For Friends, can the issue of reparations become a spark, energising, and resourcing all the efforts towards the world we desperately want? Is that the hope that we got a glimmering of in Yearly Meeting 2022? Then, we acknowledged some bitter truths, some unwelcome facts, but I think that when we put our truths together in a space of love and grace, it can be a relief, it can be freeing, and it can propel us forward. This is because, between us, we know we can do something about it.

Informed prayer, prayerful action: a call from Palestinian Christians
The theme and service this year comes from Palestinian Christian women living in Palestine. We are all encouraged to pray for peace, justice and freedom of religion and movement. They ask us to pray especially for women, refugees, the sick, dying and grieving in their country, and also beyond.

5 reasons to celebrate the work of nominations committees
I fell in love with nominations when I started to work for Britain Yearly Meeting. In that role I was secretary to Central Nominations Committee, the committee that nominates Friends to coordinate Quaker work across Britain. This includes roles developing Quaker communities, supporting peace and social witness work, building connections with other faiths, as well as roles that help our faith directly, such as clerk of Yearly Meeting.

Stifling dissent: why the erosion of protest rights should worry us all
"Respect the laws of the state but let your first loyalty be to God's purposes. If you feel impelled by strong conviction to break the law, search your conscience deeply. Ask your meeting for the prayerful support which will give you strength as a right way becomes clear." – Advices & queries 35

The quick and the good: building a peace that lasts
For those who care about peace in the world and the equal worth of all people, these are troubling times. As one Quaker put it recently, the constant barrage of attacks on our testimonies creates a spiritual as well as political crisis.
