Veteran activist Tony Benn has described Quakers as ‘a powerful force for progress’. He urged Friends to take a stand against those who hold power in the world. He made the comments while giving the Salter Lecture to hundreds of Friends at Yearly Meeting Gathering last week. The lecture is held annually by the Quaker Socialist Society (QSS), which celebrates its thirty-fifth anniversary this year.
