📣 New video! For people with ADHD and ADHD traits, the idea of a Quaker silent worship might sound impossible. However, I show why this is not the case! youtu.be/ZA5yQvZ7heo #quakers #quaker #quakerism #adhd #inclusion #diversity

📣 New video! People often say that Quakers don’t baptise and don’t do communion. That’s not strictly true. Let me tell you why! youtu.be/UXIfVGpR_2Q #quakers #quaker #quakerism #sacraments #theology

Getting ready for today's session of "Wisdom From Middle Earth". Tonight I look at conceptions of goodness in Tolkien. I suspect @footnotes2plato.substack.com will approve of the focus. #Process #Theology

📣 New video! I was shocked when I first started going to Quaker meeting that SO many of them were either vegan or veggie. In this video, I discuss why! #quaker #quakers #quakerism #britishquakers #vegan #veggie

#Quakers have always called each other 'Friend.' Is this a quaint relic from our past, or a site of rich theological reflection? Join me for an exciting online course, building a theology of Friendship inspired by Black feminist thought. www.woodbrooke.org.uk/courses/whos... @woodbrooke.bsky.social

That moment when you’re trying to give a generic overview of Quaker belief - but you’re a Christian Quaker and end up accidentally talking about the Ascension of Jesus in the first few minutes 🤦‍♂️

Very pleased to offer a course on lectio divina @woodbrooke.bsky.social coming up soon. The text recounts Rufus Jones’ compelling experience of embodied spirituality—join me in a #healing time together #embodiment #Quakers

📣 New video! It’s often said that Quaker belief is really hard to explain, even amongst Quakers. Watch me try and prove the contrary! #quakers #quaker #quakerism #britishquakers

Folks in England & Ireland: I'm coming in late March 2026 to perform at a festival, and I would love to bring my work to your church, Quaker meeting, community center, side alley, etc. 😍 Some presentations I offer: www.petersontoscano.com/presentations Contact page: www.petersontoscano.com/contact

I definitely plan to elder this hard.

Very excited to be eldering for this course!!

📣 New video! I explain why atheists and non-theists can be Quakers. It is something which confuses people in other denominations but I think fits perfectly with Quaker theology. #quakers #quakerism #britishquakers #atheist

Oops sorry! You’re both so awesome 🤩 While you’re both here - are you aware of the @nionwomen.bsky.social letter - ‘Not In Our Name: Women in support of the trans+ community’? 👉🏻 Change.org/nion_women It would be great if you could share it in @quaker.org.uk networks 🙏🩷

Had an article published in the #Quaker magazine "the Friend." I really hope that Quakers in Britain can be the safe space for trans folk that it's always been for me as a gay guy. thefriend.org/article/look... #LGBT+ #theology

Quakers may have been early and outspoken opponents of slavery, but the truth is far messier than many realize. Listen now: quakerpodcast.com/before-quake...

What does an inclusive, 21st century vision of Quakerism look like? In this wide-ranging interview, Paul Parker discusses his own spiritual journey, the opportunities and challenges facing Quaker communities, and the balance between faith and action. Watch on the Quake It Up YouTube channel:

📣 New video coming earlier this week as I’m away over the weekend! Fighting against the rumours that I’m an anti-Foxite, I do a deep dive into the life and times of George Fox! Whilst perhaps not the founder of Quakerism, he certainly did shape it. Let’s talk about it. #quakerism #quakers

Today I'm putting the course pages together for my upcoming @woodbrooke.bsky.social course "Wisdom from Middle Earth". There are still some places available. You can sign up below:

📣 New video! One for @markdruss.bsky.social on why Quakers aren’t perfect. I look at, whilst I’m glad for the great reputation Quakers have in the wider world, it can also hide the fact that Quakers have behaved badly too. I also look at how that reputation can be a burden too. #quaker #quakerism

📣 New Video! I had a fantastic discussion with Matt Rosen about travelling amongst Friends. He talks powerfully about his faith and what he discovered after visiting 50 Quaker Meetings in the UK and US. He is truly someone to listen to. I haven’t heard many Quakers talk like him.

📣 New video! For the first time on my channel, I discuss how I found Quakerism and the event and question that led me there. #quakerism #quakers #testimony

Wow, this is WAY closer than I thought! Join in if you want on YouTube!
