Witnessing for peace at a time of Remembrance
As Remembrance Day approaches Quakers may find themselves having to consider whether or not to attend community commemorations, church services, parades or participate in wreath-laying. As Quakers, our natural inclination is to stay away from events which seem to glorify Britain's military past. Instead we may wish to focus on events that focus on the cost of war, and that encourage people to work for peace.

Remembering the conscientious objectors of World War I in Kansas City
Kansas City is the largest city in Missouri and once the western frontier of the United States. The sprawling Mississippi flanks its border with the state of Kansas. It marks a boundary, the former division between the Union and the slave-owning states of the South.

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.

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. For those of us not directly impacted by the conflict, and who haven't experienced the unimaginable suffering and loss as a result, what can we do?

Stand with Quakers in France to stop the biggest arms fair of 2018
As Quakers, we are known for our silent worship and quiet meeting houses. Yet our faith can appear in the strangest places: one of 2017's biggest Quaker meetings in the UK took place outside an arms fair.

From war to peace and beyond
In my previous blog post I spoke about my time working with the Peace Pledge Union on their campaigns to combat militarism in universities and their white poppy campaign. I can feel proud that I managed to achieve a lot during those first six months. But under the surface there were sharks circling.

Starting conversations about militarism
June 2018 marked the ninth annual Armed Forces Day. Across the country people took part in parades, watched marching bands, and snapped selfies of themselves saluting to post on social media. Soldiers demonstrated weaponry and vehicles to children and teenagers, and fighter jets zoomed overhead to the delight of assembled crowds.

Choosing nonviolence in the midst of war
Sayyid* is from Bamiyan, Afghanistan. He's a member of Afghan Peace Volunteers, a group of young people committed to nonviolence – their campaign inspired our Fly Kites Not Drones peace education project. I met Sayyid 3 years ago in Kabul. He showed me how to make a kite from cheap bits and bobs. He would wake up early most mornings to cycle 5 miles across Kabul with his mum perched on the handlebars to get her to her job as a cleaner. During the day he studies, looks after his siblings and volunteers as a teacher. Recalling his unaffected laugh makes me smile.

Never again? Inspiring peace for Remembrance Day
Peace is possible
The promise made to the millions of people slaughtered by the hideous mistakes of World War I was 'never again'. World War I revealed that humanity is horribly capable of creating hell on earth.
