No one should profit from war and violence. As protests against arms dealers continue today, Quakers handed in their demand to Clarion Events, calling on them to drop the DSEI arms fair. 📸Michael Preston for Quakers in Britain

You can always rely on British Quakers to oppose unjust laws. Quakers in Britain has applied to intervene in the judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, saying the ban has undermined their freedom of religion. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Respect the laws of the state but let your first loyalty be to God’s purposes. If you feel impelled by strong conviction to break the law, search your conscience deeply. Ask your meeting for the prayerful support which will give you strength as a right way becomes clear. Advices and Queries 33

After surviving a fever in 1776, the Quaker formerly known as Jemima Wilkinson declared they had died and been reborn as a new, genderless person with a spiritual calling. Adopting the name Public Universal Friend, avoiding pronouns, and dressing androgynously, they attracted faithful followers.

I don't know about the Quakers creed, but I do know that Quakers led the charge in the humane treatment of people with mental illnesses. They started the trend of not using chains or beatings, but rather kindness, quiet, and a gentle atmosphere. If you want to find out more, read up York Retreat.

Oliver Robertson, head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, said: “This raid is not an isolated incident. “It reflects a growing trend of excessive policing under new laws brought in by the previous government, which are now being enforced by the current administration." @quaker.org.uk

Quakers call for rights to be restored after police raid on Westminster Meeting House

The police raid on Westminster Quaker meeting house last Thursday was a massively disproportionate response to the legitimate concerns of UK citizens.

One of the most bizarre aspects of the #police raid on the #Quaker Meeting House hosting a #YouthDemand welcome talk is that the police broke the door down when they could have just rung the doorbell.

Thank you very much Sunday Times. The lack of interest from the British media yesterday over the police smashing their way into a Quaker Meeting House compounded the shock and sadness at what happened. Nothing in my Observer print edition, despite a good chunk of its readership being Quakers.

State raids on Quaker meeting houses are very 17th century, not a great look for a liberal democacy with proportionate policing and a free press. This could not have been in any way a proportionate action. Nor is it in the public interest not to report on this and ask questions.

Beyond shocking. The Conservatives’ appalling protest-silencing laws must go! Paul Parker for the Quakers: “No-one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory. This aggressive violation of our place of worship… clearly shows what happens when a society criminalises protest.”

UK, 2025: a country where police break into a place of worship and arrest those inside who are having a meeting and might be planning a non-violent action. The right to peaceful protest is an essential part of a healthy democracy. Governments who crack down on it are governments to be very wary of.

It is relevant in that they took weapons into a Quaker meeting house. That's like chucking buckets of pork into a mosque or synagogue.

Depressingly little coverage of this appalling invasion. The police broke into a place of worship. Imagine if it was a church, a synagogue, a gurdwara or a mosque. Is it OK because it's only Quakers? Maybe there'd be more coverage if the headline was "Police smash door of historic listed building".

Met police raiding a Quaker meeting house is a raid on a place of worship. Arresting 6 women for attending a meeting is a raid on our right to assembly. The media silence is deafening.
