On reparations: how can we make reparations meaningful?

What are some examples of reparations? How can we make our reparations meaningful? We continue our conversation about reparations with Edwina Peart and Rebecca WalkerWoo, who we spoke to in the first episode. We also speak to Oonagh Ryder who was the Faith in Action Coordinator for Quakers in Britain around that time and Siobhán Haire, Deputy Recording Clerk of Britain Yearly Meeting (Quakers in Britain). But first we should probably explain why it took so longer for this second episode to come out... in the midst of recording we both caught COVID and the disruption meant we were no longer able to keep up with the recording schedule. So, if you want to go back and relisten to the first part you’re welcome to. A lot of the content of this episode was recorded around the same time. Despite the delay we felt it was still important to get the episode out as it remains relevant. We will revisit the subject in the future but in 2024 we are starting a new series with new topics. *** FURTHER INFO Find information about Quakers in Britain’s commitment to reparations and other resources at www.quaker.org.uk/reparations Find Woodbrooke courses and information on anti-racism work at www.woodbrooke.org.uk/anti-racism *** QUOTED & MENTIONED - Caribbean Community (CARICOM): https://caricom.org/caricom-ten-point-plan-for-reparatory-justice/ - Cotton Capital Podcast (The Guardian): https://www.theguardian.com/cotton-capital - Human Resources Podcast: https://www.broccoli.productions/our-shows - Racial Justice Advocacy Forum: https://www.baptist.org.uk/Groups/365504/Racial_Justice_Advocacy.aspx - Saidiya Hartman (2006) Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route - Others mentioned: Anthony G.

On the Bible

How do Quakers read and interpret the Bible? This episode we hear from Mark Russ, Rhiannon Grant, Peterson Toscano and Timothy Ashworth for their takes on the Bible.

On immigration

What's the Quaker position on immigration and why? What are Quakers doing to tackle some of the injustices in the current system? Asking some of the most common questions, we discuss the Quaker position on immigration with Tatiana Garavito, Jessica Metheringham and Bridget Walker. We talk about why it's not just about refugees and asylum seekers, and how we can all work together to tackle the injustices in the UK's current immigration system.
