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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
