Trials and errors: Rebecca Hardy catches up with Ben Jarman after his Swarthmore Lecture

‘Some of my early drafts were quite ranty.’

What has the response been from Quakers since you delivered the Swarthmore Lecture? 

Really positive. I had a couple of emails sent to me on Saturday that just said ‘wow!’ and I had a really satisfying, interesting and slightly difficult ‘Q and A’ – not in a bad way, but people were sharing issues that the lecture raised. Overall, I’ve been really happy with the response.
