How do the Quaker testimonies and your Quaker faith inform your political work?
I’ve had a lot of good help. Kingston was the first Meeting I went to, and the elders were really helpful. If you have difficult decisions, there’s respect for that, because I have had difficult challenges in politics but I’ve always felt that I could go back to a Meeting. I’ve never been banished for thinking through things and trying to find the light within. I’ve felt held in difficult times.
