The role of ordinary people

Updated 25 January 2023

Ordinary people can do extraordinary things, for good and ill. We see this most starkly at extreme times, such as during the Nazi Holocaust of the 1940s. The UK remembers this each year on 27 January, and Quakers are invited to take part in Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations.

Building a lasting peace: 25 years of the Good Friday Agreement

Updated 15 May 2025

Most people over the age of about 35 with a connection to Northern Ireland will remember the Good Friday Agreement being signed. I do. I grew up just outside Belfast and at Easter 1998 when the Agreement was formalised I was 12 years old, on a canal boat somewhere in England. I wasn't blessed with keen political insight, but even I dimly grasped that what I was hearing on the radio was important.

Updated 3 August 2023

In 2019, when I was 15, I attended a protest against the Defence and Security Equipment International arms fair (DSEI) alongside hundreds of peace activists, many of whom were Quakers. We gathered outside the ExCel centre in London to block the entrance, share art, sing, and hold meetings for worship in remembrance of the countless victims of war.

Hospitals, schools, places of worship, roads, and homes have been decimated, and civilians have been targeted.

The women of Swarthmoor Hall

Updated 7 March 2024

Swarthmoor Hall in Lancashire was the centre of early Quakerism. It overcame raids by the local constabulary, complaints from the neighbours and a long-running dispute over ownership to provide an information hub, a safe haven for travelling Friends and a place for worship.

6 ways our new government could build a peaceful and sustainable world

Updated 25 July 2024

Now that the UK has a new government, many will be watching to see how Labour's campaign translates into reality. We'll be hoping, of course, that it will result in positive changes for two topics that perhaps were not as prominent in the election campaign as we would have liked: climate justice and peace.

A reflection on 25 years of the Scottish Parliament

Updated 10 September 2024

Quaker engagement with the Scottish Parliament builds on a rich history of Quaker political involvement, from the petitions by Margaret Fell and George Fox in the 1600s, to the fifty years of quiet diplomacy in the Quaker UN Offices, to Quakers in Britain's work influencing Westminster politicians.
