Why are there foodbanks in a rich country?
Some decades ago, I remember seeing a picture of graffiti that said 'Nobody starves in the welfare state'. It wasn't a boast, or propaganda, but a protest. This seemed odd to me at the time: why on earth would people write that as a protest? It was explained to me that it illustrated bitterness that while the welfare state kept starvation at bay, many people were still in long-term poverty and living in pretty miserable conditions.

Could you be a prison chaplain?
In the early days of the Quaker faith many Quakers were imprisoned for their beliefs. Ever since, there has been a continuing Quaker concern for prisoners, those who work in prisons and prison conditions.

How Quakers can push for a just UK immigration system in 2019
As buzz around the pending Immigration Bill increases, the content of the proposed legislation remains uncertain. It's vital that Quaker voices inform the debate.

8 badass Quaker women
According to Urban Dictionary, the word 'badass' is: "1. A general term used to describe behaviour that is fearless, authentic, compassionate, and ethical. 2. Well above the social standard for 'normal' behaviour." It's also a gender neutral term, which I rate.

It's time to Build Back Better for a safe and just future
Even as the Covid-19 lockdown rules are loosened, I am hearing many people say they believe things will never get 'back to normal'. Of course, we all crave a 'normal' where we can see our friends and family, and where key workers can do their jobs without fearing for their lives. But 'normal' was a state of affairs that was failing millions of people.

How are Quakers meeting? A summer snapshot from around Britain
A joy and privilege of my work is spending time in the lives of Quaker meetings. Over the last few months, I've seen Quakers respond creatively, faithfully and lovingly to the challenges presented by Covid-19. This has led to worship happening in ways most of us would scarcely have dreamt of a year ago.

What a difference a year makes
One year ago this week, I told Britain Yearly Meeting staff to go home, stay at home, see what work they could get on with at home, and not come back for a month. In a month's time, I reckoned, we'd know what was happening, the worst would be over, and we'd be helping Quaker meetings get back on their feet. We shut the doors at Friends House in London and Swarthmoor Hall in Cumbria, postponed the events we'd got booked, and kept an eye on the rolling news.
