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.

Why peace workshops are still worth it
In the 1990s I travelled across the Balkans, Northern Ireland and Western Europe facilitating sessions for peace. Despite the fragmentation of Eastern Europe and conflict in the former Yugoslavia it felt like peace was possible, and we could end the century with more peace than war. That isn't really how it has turned out, and this century has already witnessed wars thousands of us tried to prevent. We plod on for peace unbowed.

Untangling the web: change through international structures
Having studied social anthropology, I have always been interested in the values we hold (both knowingly and unknowingly) and how these inform the way we live our lives. But the larger political structures that govern and influence our lives have always felt distant to me, something 'other' that I didn't know how to influence or be part of.

The changing shape of Quaker meetings
Our Tabular Statement is the annual report of all Quakers in Britain, the closest thing Quakers have to a census. Every year, area meetings send in a report which shares the overall numbers of members and attenders, and the changes that meetings have recorded in the previous twelve months.

Why we’re calling for polluters to pay for the damage they cause
We all know the impacts of the climate crisis are getting worse. With wildfires, catastrophic floods and the first famine attributed solely to climate change, 2021 has been a terrifying parade of fossil-fuelled disasters. But what happens to the people on the receiving end of this loss and damage?

Hope – the message of worldwide prayer
World Day of Prayer 2022 falls on 4 March. It aims to bring together women of various races, cultures and traditions in closer understanding. Each year a different country is selected to write the liturgy for a worldwide day of prayer and England, Wales and Northern Ireland had been chosen for 2022; the first time since 1945. WDP is an international ecumenical women's movement which began in the USA in 1887 and is celebrated annually in over 150 countries.

Would Little Amal go to Rwanda this year?
Last year, many British Quakers took part in or witnessed a series of events throughout Britain in which a 3m tall puppet, Little Amal, journeyed from the Syrian border via Dover to Manchester, joining in events and rallies during her journey. Amal symbolised the search for a new life of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers. The events were inspiring and full of hope.

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.

Will COP27 deliver a loss and damage fund?
The next chapter in the struggle for loss and damage finance is about to take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of campaigners and Global South countries, the issue is on the provisional agenda for COP27. This still has to be agreed by parties at the beginning of the summit, but there appears to be little appetite for a long argument over the agenda.
