📣 New Video! Imagine it's the year 2326. How would the Quakers of the future talk about our era of Quakerism? Would we be seen as pioneers of spiritual boldness and acceptance, or as a people who missed great opportunities or who were too slow to act against growing crises? youtu.be/1VagFsoXrqQ

Every now and then, I fear I will run out of video ideas for Quake It Up…then I remember, I always have the gem of when Voltaire met the Quakers… Got Lettres sur les anglais BEGGING to be read. FOUR letters he gives to Quakers. FOUR… Anglicanism only gets one.

📣 New Video! Today, I share some practical dos and don'ts of a Quaker Meeting for Worship to help newcomers (and perhaps even seasoned Quakers) get the most from Meeting for Worship. #quakers #quakerism #britishquakers youtu.be/P9UTuqUK034

📣 New Video! I talk a lot about how to give vocal ministry, but how do you listen to the Divine? How do we listen to other people’s ministry? What do we do if we disagree with what someone’s saying? Let’s discuss! #quakerism #quakers #britishquakers youtu.be/WU0Ws2wPDEo

@cosmichope.bsky.social making so much more sense than me on this! 🙏

1/3 Here @quakeitup.bsky.social makes a really good pitch for the internal coherence of Liberal Quaker theology (including it's ability to include interpretations which, in theory, negate it). My initial thought is that diversity isn't the problem with Liberal-Liberal Quakerism in particular...

If Quakers believe there is “that of God in everyone”, why do so many meetings look and think so similarly? In my latest video, I explore why diversity isn't a challenge to Quakerism... it may be essential to it. #quakers #quakerism #britishquakers youtu.be/YWEKCmPSUWg

I’m going to be doing a video where I go to all EIGHT Cornish Quaker meetings in ONE day. Easy, you say? Mate, have you ever been to Cornwall? I’ll be doing it in the summer as well, so…

📣 New Video! Whenever we are about to do something for the first time, our minds imagine what it will be like. Often, for better or for worse, these imaginings are unrealistic. Today, I will be busting some of these unrealistic expectations of a Quaker Meeting for Worship… 🕯️ youtu.be/twgcNk-UwgE

New video! Today, I am (hopefully!) answering the question thrown at modern liberal Quakers a lot - have we lost our spirituality to simply become social activists? I look at how we got here, how it is not quite as it seems, and how DISCERNMENT is the key part of the process. youtu.be/rL5CMDMMZTw

Wishing all a Happy Eurovision Final Day 🇪🇺! May the best song win. My head says Bulgaria 🇧🇬, but my heart says Germany 🇩🇪, which means it’ll be Sweden 🇸🇪

Christian Quakers, why don’t we make as much of a deal about the Ascension as we do Easter and the Nativity? Or am I missing a whole lot of Quaker theology on this? If so, pointers would be amazing! 🕯️

Quakers are causing political ruckus all over again!
