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?

Witnessing against the arms trade at DSEI
"Our Quaker community is a gathering together of peacemakers. We gather, we sit together in silent worship, and we disperse again, knowing that the work of peace cannot be accomplished in our meeting houses, it can only begin there. We are convinced that the making of peace demands us to return to our world in love, to stand firm in public, to confront the “powers and principalities", and to assert that in this time of permanent war, no government which involves itself in the arms trade, no government relying on and colluding with a militarised system, can govern well or for the benefit of all. We are resolute and will not submit before a governing hand that subsidises, facilitates and profits from the sale of weapons to ruthless dictators in our name." – Part of Quaker Roots Epistle, a grassroots network of Quakers.

5 reasons to be a Quaker in 2022
Have you ever been asked why you're a Quaker? Often I find my mind goes blank when I'm put on the spot. So I had a think, and came up with five reasons I continue to be a Quaker:

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.

Heeding the voice of conscience: a call to continued action
On 15 May we marked Conscientious Objectors' Day. At one of the ceremonies around Britain, I joined people gathered in Tavistock Square, London to hear music, poetry and testimony in the leafy gardens where the conscientious objection memorial stone rests. We laid flowers for all those who refused to kill. You can watch a recording on the Peace Pledge Union website.

Giving in a time of uncertainty
When I was a child, I was struck by how differently my parents saw the price of a large glass of chocolate milk. It always puzzled me. In the diner, sitting on the sticky red vinyl seat of a booth, I would scan the menu and feel anxious.

Building hope for a peaceful world
In recent years the world has experienced various calamities, from a global pandemic to devastating wildfires, the war in Ukraine, and the climate crisis. How can a person keep on facing the many problems that require monumental resolutions? My answer is simple: hope.

Nurturing the spiritual life of our communities
I am somebody who reflects on what is nourishing me spiritually quite regularly. Whether it be wild swimming, singing in harmony or a windy walk on the moors, I find a range of activities help fill up my spiritual cup. Quaker worship is an important part of my spiritual life and it is where I am part of an intergenerational community. I feel lucky that a large part of my role as a Local Development Worker is supporting Friends to ask the question 'what are we finding spiritually nourishing' – not as individuals but as a whole Quaker community.

A youthful Yearly Meeting
Children and young people are a vital part of Yearly Meeting. They gather to look at its themes in age-appropriate ways, build community, explore Quaker faith and practice, experience worship and prayerful decision-making, and of course have lots of fun in a safe space.
