After the Gathering: 11 ways to live out our Quaker faith in the world

Updated 17 February 2020

I left Yearly Meeting Gathering with a sense of hope for the future. It took me a while to identify this, given that the daily news discourages a feeling as impertinent as hope.

Updated 17 February 2020

What do we need to build a movement for social change? It's a question we should all ask ourselves if we are going to create the kind of society we wish to see. It's also something that African colleagues consider on a daily basis as they support local communities to take action for social change.

Today, 6 February 2018, marks 100 years since the Representation of the People Act was granted Royal Assent and became law. It was a landmark piece of legislation.

5 ways to support women in immigration detention this International Women’s Day

Created 7 March 2018

Earlier this year I celebrated the centenary of women's right to vote in the UK. I remembered, though, that not all UK women had that right even after 1918. Worse, the state continues to ignore the human rights of many women in the UK today.

Updated 19 April 2018

In recent weeks my mind has been occupied with thoughts of Syria. I have spent a lot of time reading the reactions of Syrian activists in the diaspora to the launch of airstrikes, and listening to what my Syrian friends thought, many of whom still have family living there.

Quakers in fiction

Updated 2 August 2019

For a faith group known for stillness and silence, Quakers have captured the literary imagination more than one might expect. I have always been an avid novel-reader, and as someone raised in the Church of England tradition, I read about Quakers long before I ever heard the word spoken. But how are Quakers portrayed in fiction? In this by-no-means-exhaustive list, I take a look.
