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. This Yearly Meeting Gathering was the culmination of a three-year arc looking at living out Quaker faith in the world, and it felt like many seeds for change were sown. Which of these seeds will grow? Which will take root? Which will flourish for years to come?

Quakers at uni: how I found my faith
As a fiercely independent 19-year-old, I decided that I would catch the train to York for my first week at university. Leaving my family on the doorstep at home, I remember proudly arriving at my halls of residence with a sleeping bag, a few tea bags and, while being excited, a general fear of the unknown that lay ahead of me.

Quakerism: a faith for turbulent times
In Quaker Week 2017 we are saying: "In turbulent times, be a Quaker". This phrase speaks to the heart of how we live out our beliefs today in an ever more challenging world, but it also harks back to our radical roots as a faith born out of turbulence.

Think global, act local
Does your council pay the Living Wage? Make decisions about fracking? Support refugees? What does your council do to address inequality locally? These are all issues that Quakers care about and local councils influence how these issues are addressed.

Telling our stories: exploring the Quaker way
One of the distinctive marks of Quaker faith is that it is rooted in personal experience and not in creeds or set forms of words. There is no checklist of things that everyone must believe in or agree to but rather an encouragement for each person to listen to and live by their own experience. We sometimes call this our 'inward light'.

Providing housing, making homes: Quaker Housing Trust celebrates 50 years of service
Housing is not just about providing 'bricks and mortar', but also about challenging inequalities and prejudices. This is reflected in the range of projects supported by and through Quaker Housing Trust (QHT), a national charity set up by Quakers in 1967.

Should Quakers eat less animal produce?
At Yearly Meeting in 2011 British Quakers adopted the 'Canterbury Commitment' where we pledged collectively to live our faith in action by becoming a 'low-carbon, sustainable community'. This called on us to respond to climate change in new and innovative ways. Quakers across the country are making steps to live out their faith on this issue, including campaigning for real political commitment to addressing climate change.

Why I'm tired of just talking about Brexit
I am tired of talking about Brexit. I am tired of telling people what I think; explaining what options I think our government should be pursuing. I am tired of finding there's no common ground; of steeling myself for the inevitable debate. I am tired of talking to people I agree with, and finding they experience the same sense of powerlessness that I experience. I am tired of finding that even mentioning it polarises things. Maybe I need to stop talking about Brexit.

Poverty, austerity and choosing a different path
One piece of news which slipped by largely unnoticed among the political turmoil of the last few months was the release of a UN report on the state of poverty in the UK. In many ways this wasn't unusual. UN reports very rarely have the British press clamouring all over them. But, as the country seems to be inching closer to a no-deal Brexit that gambles "with the basic needs of our poorest citizens and communities", it's more vital than ever that we take heed of its findings.

Building understanding and tolerance in a divided society
We live in a divided society. We always have, to some extent, but it feels especially obvious right now. We will have to live with that, at least for the time being, but how can we do that positively? How can we build tolerance and understanding in such a situation?
