Staying engaged after the election
As Quakers, we have a long history of speaking truth to power and getting involved in politics. The election offered us a great opportunity to talk about important issues. Those debates shouldn't end now that it's over.

When a refugee knocks, answer the door
Across the UK, refugees and asylum seekers face hostility, fear and demonisation. Headlines speak of "queue jumpers" and "waves of migrants", reducing human lives to numbers and threats. But we are all people. For Quakers, this is not just a belief; it is a call to act.

Telling a better story: Tax and climate justice
“[We] need to tell a broad story about the benefits of a just system of taxation, and to have the freedom to imagine what a holistic system may look like."Economics & Sustainability Subcommittee, minute ES 18/34. November 2018The climate emergency is not just a crisis of emissions, but a crisis of justice, both globally and locally. Climate chaos is deepening, and so are the chasms of economic inequality and social division. We desperately need a transition away from fossil fuels that is fast, fair and properly funded. We know that the costs of climate inaction would be catastrophic, in financial, ecological and human terms. And yet we are hearing increasingly strident voices claiming that we cannot afford to act.

5 reasons to go to Quaker meeting (number 5 is a surprise)
Quaker meeting for worship involves sitting together with others, either in a room or online, and trying to access stillness and silence in order to listen deeply. The aim is to hear what love and truth are saying to us, which many Quakers understand as God speaking in our hearts. That's pretty vague, though. Why specifically might you want to try meeting for worship for the first time?

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.
