Quaker simplicity and the 1%
by David Zarembka I suspect that we, my Kenyan wife, Gladys Kamonya and I, are Quakers who are members of the 1%. At least we are in my home town of Lumakanda in western Kenya. Here we are multi-millionaires in shillings, since there are 85 shillings to a US dollar so $11,764 makes one a [...]
Daily Adventures
by Julia Ryberg The liturgical year is not observed among Quakers. In my parents’ childhood homes, neither Christmas nor Easter were celebrated. All days are holy days and all of life is sacramental. My mother, however, promised herself that this would change when she had a family! So, I have celebrated Christmas all my life, [...]
A letter to Barack Obama
22/11/2012 Dear Barack Obama, I am one of your supporters, a dual national living in Sweden. As an 11th generation Quaker, I feel connected to you because your daughters attend a Quaker school – I am also a product of Quaker education! I feel more deeply connected because I believe that your most profound hopes [...]
Whoosh! The good stuff
By Oliver Robertson This talk boils down to three basic questions: Which parts of our life bring us closer to God? Which parts are spiritually deadening? And how can we change the second type into the first? For me, one of the crowning geniuses of the early Quakers was the Meeting for Worship for Business, [...]
Witness against the arms trade
by Sam Walton We didn’t think we’d get in. The UKTI DSO Symposium is the biggest event of the year for Britain’s exporters of “defence & security” gear – so you’d think they’d have better security. We wandered into the hotel past the police and made our way towards the entrance to the Symposium. Not [...]
North South, South North
By Sophie Bowman Two months ago I went to North Korea. Well, as much as is physically possible for a foreign person in South Korea. I went and visited the demilitarised zone and Panmunjom, crossing into North Korea within the confines of one of the blue meeting rooms that straddles the border in the Joint [...]
‘Good luck in that godforsaken place’
by Hannah Brock ‘Good luck in that godforsaken place’ Those were the words a colleague of mine was left with by a friend as she left her office in the UK for the last time before joining the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI). I too am serving in the West Bank as [...]
Living with the barrier
By Hannah Brock Greetings from Bethlehem! I write from a flat which stands about 100m away from the checkpoint through which everyone wishing to travel to Bethlehem from Jerusalem must pass. This house will be my home for the next three months as I serve with the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), [...]
Finding Friends
By Hayley Fern At all of my first dozen meetings, someone new has asked me how I came to discover Quakers. My reply is always the same: I happened to read a book which talked about it with such agreeable descriptions that I became curious. The book was Notes from an Exhibition by Patrick Gale. [...]
