Thousands of Quakers are divesting from fossil fuels
Quakers that attend local meetings are also members of regional collectives known as area meetings. Area meetings in Britain collectively manage millions of pounds of investments, and almost half of them now have zero investment in fossil fuels. More than 30 per cent have actively chosen to divest huge sums from the fossil fuel industry.

The power of words: Holocaust Memorial Day 2018
I have attended the national commemoration to mark International Holocaust Memorial Day in London for several years. It is a deeply moving event and each time it manages to explore not only what happened in Europe to many Jewish, gay, disabled, Roma and communist people in the Holocaust, but also reminds us all of the subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

A Quaker take on Easter
In its earliest days, Quakerism was rooted deeply in the Christian story. The language, imagery and ideals that shaped the early Quaker community were deeply influenced by the Bible, both the old and new testaments.

5 ways to make Quaker meeting houses work for the future
I'm always a bit anxious when we spend time worrying about Quaker property. Early Quaker George Fox was disparaging about 'steeple houses'. In his radical vision, going to a physical church was not necessary to experience God. Really it's the community that makes up the church, not the premises it meets in.

Migrant rights are human rights
While it has gained increased political and press attention in recent years, the movement across national borders of people who do not qualify for refugee status is not a new phenomenon. Neither is the call to advocate for those people, and to ask that every person who migrates, regardless of their circumstances, is treated with humanity, dignity and kindness.

Responding creatively in divided times
It has been pointed out many times that the EU referendum was perhaps a symptom rather than the cause of unresolved social divisions in the UK. It is also clear that those pre-existing divisions have deepened over the last few years.

Beyond Brexit
The current political crisis is a failure of leadership right across UK politics. In both Parliament and Government we have seen a lack of forethought. Each move appears to be in reaction to current events, not a pre-considered strategy. We needed leaders with integrity and courage, and we found leaders prepared to gamble with the wellbeing of the country.

Quaker marriage: a history of celebrating a spiritual commitment
The first Quaker marriages in England were not strictly legal, at least according to English law. According to Scottish law, Quaker marriages were considered "irregular" – legal, but not quite the same as a church marriage. In the 1650s, when Quakerism first began, the Anglican church was still the authority in England. People were required to worship in church every Sunday, and it was in the parish church that marriages took place and were officially recorded.

Tackling the climate emergency: what can councils do?
An immense shift is taking place. In less than a year more than half the UK's local authorities have declared a 'climate emergency'.
