Finding more in common: Quaker interfaith work

Updated 14 November 2019

Quakers work with other faiths for a range of reasons and we grow in our spiritual life by doing so. By knowing our neighbours and fellow citizens at a deeper level we improve community relations and, as a peace church, it is imperative that we confidently contribute to peaceful community and religious life.

Buddhists, Quakers and Catholics unite in resistance against fracking

Created 8 May 2018

As an intern at Quakers in Britain, I get to work alongside many different colleagues, including those who support Quakers who take action to keep fossil fuels in the ground. Quakers oppose hydraulic fracturing of shale gas – known as 'fracking' – as part of our testimony to sustainability. We advocate for investment in renewable energy sources as an alternative.

Why we must talk about conscientious objection

Updated 11 December 2022

For many people, it seems obvious that human beings should have the right to refuse to kill. Yet we must be able to explain our choices of conscientious objection; it is an age-old discussion that continues throughout each generation.

A brief history of Quakers and banking

Updated 23 July 2019

Alongside famous manufacturing businesses with Quaker origins like Cadbury, Rowntree's and Clarks, there are two other household names whose early success was built by Quakers: Lloyds and Barclays. These big names in banking might not occur to you when you think of Quaker values of peace, equality and sustainability, but both were established by Quaker families. Though they no longer have a Quaker connection, Lloyds was formed in 1765, while Barclays began back in 1690.

Racial justice learning for Quakers: a reflection

Updated 3 September 2020

During June and July I joined approximately 80 other Quakers in a series of five online workshops initiated in response to the killing of George Floyd, and the growth of Black Lives Matter protests in the UK. I didn't believe that I was racist; I certainly didn't want to identify as racist, but I knew that I might be clumsily unaware of some of the challenges faced by people of colour. I hoped that the workshops would increase my understanding and develop greater insight into effective allyship.
