New Video! Today, I am looking at loneliness and how this relates to Quakerism.

Being by yourself is completely fine, but there are people who are seeking connection and don't know where to look. Could a Quaker meeting be an answer or not?

📣 New Video! Right, so who ACTUALLY founded Quakerism? Lots of potential contenders and, no, it is not as simple as George Fox! I feel the pro-Foxite crowd will be on me again for this one! 😝

New Video! Why are Quaker populations in the West struggling? I argue it has nothing to do with our theological diversity, and a lot more to do with the popular culture's focus on individualism, creating a fear of commitment. Find out more!

Well done to the @BritishQuakers your fine example as the first British church to state their belief that genocide is underway in Gaza leads the way.

The tide of opinion across the world is moving against Netanyahu’s Israeli Government.

SHOCKING!
Are we in a #policestate now? #Protests against #genocide in #Palestine are targetted.
But it is unconsciable to raid the #BritishQuakers' house and arrest people at a meeting.

I saw this on @novaramedia.com's Instagram earlier. Such a bizarre story.
www.instagram.com/p/DHwHHu3IUO...
Slide: Text: Police Raid Quaker Meeting House For First Time in Living Memory. They arrested six people meeting to discuss the climate crisis and Gaza. Post: novaramedia: Police have raided a Quaker meeting house and arrested six young people from @_youthdemand who were meeting to discuss concerns about the climate crisis and the Gaza genocide. On 27 March, more than 20 officers - some carrying tasers - reportedly forced their way into Westminster Meeting House in central London. According to @britishquakers, the officers “broke open the front door without warning or ringing the bell first, searching the whole building and arresting six women attending the meeting in a hired room”. Paul Parker, recording clerk for Quakers in Britain, said: “No-one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory.” “This aggressive violation of our place of worship and the forceful removal of young people holding a protest group meeting clearly shows what happens when society criminalises protest.”
