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.

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.

Our faith, our work: a look back at 2017
I am continually inspired by the breadth, depth and conviction of Quakers' work. Across Britain meetings are taking action inspired by their faith, working to nurture and diversify their communities, and supporting Quaker work to make the world a better place.

Shining a light on the arms trade
On Tuesday 12 September the world's most prestigious arms fair – DSEI (Defence & Security Equipment International) – starts in London. But less than 10 per cent of Londoners even know it is happening. Quakers from across the country are working together with other churches, faiths and movements for social change to try and stop it.

Women's preaching still justified
Margaret Fell (1614-1702) was a key figure in the development of the early Quaker movement, handling money, letters, and practical support for people who felt led to preach the Quaker message. Quakers were criticised for allowing women to speak, and so – while she was in prison for allowing a Quaker meeting to be held in her home – Fell wrote a pamphlet, Women's speaking justified. In it she went through Biblical examples to show that women could, and always had, shared the word of God.

Don’t be a stepping stone for war
Quakers continue to urge the UK government not to facilitate war and bloodshed. The British government has already allowed UK bases to be used by the United States military. This war – as well as being a tragedy – is also a crime (violating the UN charter) and risks setting off further conflicts in the Middle East and further afield. Our government's participation in it must end.

A new title for a new book
From the first meeting of the Book of Discipline Revision Committee, it was clear to us that we were not actually revising Quaker faith & practice, but starting with a blank page. The minute of Britain Yearly Meeting 2018 which started our work encouraged us to be prayerful, creative, joyful and bold.

A million acts of hope
"When you start to look, hope is everywhere." – David GeeQuakers are continuing to grapple with the question of how we can live well together while navigating deep division in society. But just changing our perspective, in order to focus on hope and the tools we have, can be transformative, as David Gee suggests.
