Quakers and same-sex marriage
Quakers in Britain have been considering sexuality for more than 60 years. In 2009 we made the decision to campaign for the right to marry same-sex couples in Quaker meetings for worship.

Quaker Rainbow
Quaker Rainbow (previously the Quaker Gender and Sexual Diversity Community) brings together people of diverse sexual and/or gender identities within Quakers in Britain. It aims to provide a voice and a meeting space for the LGBT+ and queer community. This includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, intersex, transgender and gender non-binary Quakers, and Quakers interested in sexuality, gender identity and equality. They welcome others seeking an inclusive spiritual community.

This isn't belonging
Weirdly, I found myself agreeing when hearing retired Major General Tim Cross on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme, saying that army recruitment is "not about being nice", it's about "fighting power" against the "Queen's enemies". This nakedly militarist agenda at least has the merit of honesty. The General has been irked by the fresh crop of British Army ads.Marketing the military is a difficult business, with recruitment rates stalling (PDF). But the marketers seem to have settled on 'belonging' as the army's selling point. I'd like to call out the lie.

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 testimony of divine grace: Quakers and same-sex marriage
Quakers have always diligently written tracts, pamphlets and books, including those about sexuality. Work to produce Towards a Quaker View of Sex began in 1957, and it was published in 1963. It was the first religious text to positively explore same-sex relationships, stating: “It is the nature and quality of a relationship that matters… The same criteria seem to us to apply whether a relationship is heterosexual or homosexual."

Supporting young people
I've been working in the children and young people's team since 2005 and I still remember the day I was interviewed. A beautiful sunny day in a really big dark room with a grandfather clock. But it's one of the interview questions that has really stuck with me – how are you going to work to explore spirituality with young Quakers?

Embracing diversity?
In December 2018, I launched a survey for Quakers in Britain on diversity. Using the material gathered from questions sent to meetings and committees by Meeting for Sufferings and the individual data gathered from the survey, I've been building a picture of Quaker communities across Britain. The survey had 2,011 responses (roughly 10% of all Quakers in Britain) and has generated rich and varied information, in terms of actual diversity and attitudes to it. I make no claims of representation. It is a self-selecting sample.

It often surprises me just how many references to Quakers there are in popular TV shows and films.
