Paddington, welcome and transformation

Updated 13 August 2019

As a child I never quite felt that I fitted in or quite understood what was going on. We moved house when I was in the middle of primary school and I never quite got over the feeling of being dislocated and a bit at a loss. To be fair, I still often feel very much the same as an adult. I think it was because of this that I always felt drawn to stories about those people and creatures who might live among us but are somehow different; the Borrowers, the Wombles and, most of all, Paddington.

A Quaker take on Easter

Updated 1 April 2021

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.

Quaker funerals: community and contribution

Updated 1 April 2021

I'm an elder of my local Quaker meeting at the moment, and have had the privilege of being responsible for the holding of two funeral meetings for worship in the last year. One was for someone who died in her late 90s; the other for an active woman whose life felt cut short by illness. Both were powerful, raw, moving occasions.

Making meetings simpler

Updated 13 January 2020

Peace, truth, equality and simplicity – the words trip off Quaker tongues very readily. But if we are so committed to simplicity, why can it seem so complicated to run our 'simple' Quaker meetings?

5 ways to make Quaker meeting houses work for the future

Updated 27 September 2018

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.

Peace is possible

Updated 14 November 2019

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.

Diversity: where are we now?

Updated 19 December 2018

In 2017, Britain Yearly Meeting heard the call to “examine its diversity." From this decision came my one-year role, Diversity and Inclusion Project Coordinator, which began in June 2018.

Why I'm tired of just talking about Brexit

Updated 4 October 2019

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.
