1944 – Man, Society and Religion
The 1944 Swarthmore Lecture by W Russell Brain, reviewed by John Hall Walter Russell Brain (1895-1966) joined the Friends’ Ambulance Unit in 1915 but did not become a Quaker until 1931, by which time he had been elected a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, specialising in neurology. Knighted in 1952, he was made [...]
Why? How? Rhiannon Grant
by Rhiannon Grant I am a Quaker both by accident and by design. I didn’t set out to be born into a Quaker family (although perhaps my parents had it in mind!), but nevertheless I was, as it happened, a cradle Quaker. Later in life, I made a few half-hearted attempts to leave the Quaker [...]
2013 Swarthmore Lecturer revealed
by Jez Smith Gerald Hewitson, a Quaker based in Wales, is set to deliver the 2013 Swarthmore Lecture, A Journey to the Heart of the Quaker Experience. The lecture will be given during Britain Yearly Meeting at Friends House on 25/05/2013. Although the lecture will be delivered then, the Swarthmore Lecture is in the care [...]
1949 – Authority, Leadership and Concern
The 1949 Swarthmore Lecture by Roger Cowan Wilson, reviewed by Jennifer Barraclough The joy of the Swarthmore Lectures is their continuing ability to illuminate, console and inform. Although Roger Cowan Wilson wrote about authority, leadership and concern in the context of Quaker relief work during and immediately after the Second World War, there is much [...]
Why? How? Sheila Hancock
by Sheila Hancock (from a radio interview, not written for Nayler) After I had cancer myself, I began to feel a lack of a spiritual element in my life… I went to a meeting of the Society of Friends – a Quaker meeting. I went for a weekend – they have weekend retreats. Instantly it [...]
Why? How? Hayley & Mia
By Hayley and Mia Hayley: We have been attending Quaker meetings for about a year and a half now. Mia has made friends and I often stay in the family room for the first part of the meeting to play games with the young ones. I found out about Quakerism through reading and researching on [...]
Why? How? Stephanie Grant
By Stephanie Grant Why am I a Quaker? because it’s where God wants me to be, because it’s a place I can work out how to follow the teachings of Jesus without the rituals and creeds that troubled me in other churches, because I feel it’s where I belong, because it gives me a safe [...]
Why? How? Eleanor Coss
by Eleanor Coss Quaker Meetings for Worship are one of the things I find hardest to explain to people who have never experienced them. It sounds so dull: you sit in silence for an hour and try very hard not to think about what you’re going to have for lunch. Then someone stands up and [...]
Why? How? Simon Colbeck
by Simon Colbeck To answer this question like a Quaker I’ll start by saying “It depends what you mean by “why””. No single answer is enough. In one sense I’m a Quaker because my parents made the decision for me. They were quite religious people and when I was about ten they decided that the [...]
Why? How? Wess Daniels
by Wess Daniels I found old school Quakerism in a place that may surprise my liberal unprogrammed F/friends, in an Evangelical Friends college that had largely forgotten its historical Quaker roots. I grew up a nominal Catholic and in my early teens my family began attending a charismatic Evangelical church. It was there that I [...]
