"I cannot afford the luxury of fighting one form of oppression only. I cannot afford to believe that freedom from intolerance is the right of only one particular group... I cannot afford to choose between the fronts upon which | must battle these forces of discrimination, wherever they appear to destroy me."

— Audre Loude

At the book launch in Abington, #MarcusRediker vowed that Benjamin will never again be relegated to obscurity. Markel, Rediker, and Bachman had come from a future generation to retrieve Lay and tell the story of this hidden #Quaker, to tell, as Rediker describes it, this *history from below*.

Some really hardcore terrorists seen in #London on Monday, at the #DefendOurJuries demo outside the #HomeOffice, against the ban on #PalestineAction. Many of these extremist #Quaker terrorists promote the sinister ideology that #genocide is somehow a bad thing.

But the #MetropolitanPolice #MetPol were out in force to make arrests, and thereby protect Londoners from the scourge of peace.

Wanting a book club recommendation? We're enjoying 'Don't Forget We're Here Forever: A New Generation's Search for Religion’ by Lamorna Ash .

A few of our local Friends have read this lovely and thoughtful account of the author's exploration of Christianity in an increasingly secular world.

She writes about her attendance at #Quaker meetings and how the silent worship affects her in a way that feels so familiar to many of us!
