9 voices the Department for Education would ban from schools

Updated 8 October 2020

Recent Department for Education guidance tells headteachers in England to ensure external organisations, speakers and resources do not take "extremist" stances. These include a stated desire to abolish capitalism and "a failure to condemn illegal activities done in support of their cause". The guidance also bans "victim narratives that are harmful to British society".

Quaker Question Time: listening and learning together

Updated 24 September 2020

"Love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." -- Rainer Maria Rilke

Racial justice learning for Quakers: a reflection

Updated 3 September 2020

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.

Why compassion needs to be at the heart of our response to Channel crossings

Updated 28 August 2020

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.

How are Quakers meeting? A summer snapshot from around Britain

Updated 13 August 2020

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.
