Remembering Srebrenica: 30 years on
Friday 11 July 2025 will mark 30 years since the massacre at Srebrenica, when over 8,000 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) men and boys over 12, were murdered in the town in the worst single event of the Bosnian civil war of 1992–1995. Churches have come together to organise events to mark this anniversary, and we encourage Quakers to support them.

Exploring peace with local young people
Connecting with our local communities is a feature of the life of many Quaker meetings and groups, whether it's in our annual Quaker Week each October or with events throughout the year. In my work at Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) I'm particularly interested in how to better connect with children and families in the local community. This is also a long-term aim of Hertford & Hitchin Area Meeting's Peace Group. It has long been keen to engage local schools with Quaker peace education materials and share an approach that helps children develop the skills and understanding we need to be peacemakers in our lives.

New light in the darkness: connecting in troubled times
A month ago, the idea of fifty or more Quaker meetings setting up to hold their meetings for worship online seemed impossible. This Sunday (22 March) it happened.

By popular demand: even more Quakers in fiction!
When I wrote a blog post about Quakers in fiction, I was happily deluged with emails from readers who had come across Quakers elsewhere in their literary adventures. There were some wonderfully esoteric titles – for example the (sadly now out-of-print) Colin Writes to Friends House (1934) by Elfrida Vipont – and plenty of interesting observations.

Beyond Brexit
The current political crisis is a failure of leadership right across UK politics. In both Parliament and Government we have seen a lack of forethought. Each move appears to be in reaction to current events, not a pre-considered strategy. We needed leaders with integrity and courage, and we found leaders prepared to gamble with the wellbeing of the country.

All together now!
Yearly Meeting is the annual assembly of the Quaker church in Britain. It's when Quakers gather in worship to connect, explore current concerns and conduct business. At this year's event we'll be trying something new: an enormous meeting for worship that will bring together as many Quakers as possible from across Britain.

Why supporting the Climate and Nature Bill matters
For the past few months, the Quaker Support for Climate Action group has joined the Zero Hour campaign encouraging support for the Climate and Nature Bill (formerly the Climate Ecology and Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill). The leading to take this action comes from a deep and urgent sense that, if we don't take action now, it will be too late.

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.
