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

Which of these seeds will grow? Which will take root? Which will flourish for years to come?

Eight things we learned at Quaker Activist Gathering 2017
There has been a groundswell of activism in 2017, as people respond to threats to women's rights, freedom of movement and our climate, among many other things.

Syria: 6 things you can do
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.
