Annual AGM and Conference – Cardiff 2025
Saturday 18th October – Join us at our annual AGM and conference, this year hosted at Cardiff Quaker Meeting House.
Keynote Address: Connecting through Faith when Governments Manipulate and Threaten Existential Risk
We’re delighted to welcome Paul Ingram as our keynote speaker. Paul is a British Quaker with decades of experience in international diplomacy and nuclear disarmament negotiations.
Highlights of his work include:
- Director of BASIC (2007–19): led the Trident Commission and developed the Stepping Stones Approach, which inspired the 16-nation Stockholm Initiative for Nuclear Disarmament.
- International diplomacy: hosted a weekly talk show on Iranian state TV (2007–12), engaging with senior figures in Ahmadinejad’s government and helping facilitate back-channel negotiations that paved the way for the Iran nuclear deal.
- Political leadership: Co-Leader of Oxford City Council (2000–02) for the Greens.
- Humanitarian advocacy: First Chair of Crisis Action (2004–07), now a global award-winning network protecting civilians from conflict.
Paul is currently developing interfaith action on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and disarmament, exploring how faith communities can challenge cynicism, populism, and neo-fascism by offering a hopeful, collective vision for humanity.

Remembering Peace – Making at a Time of War – A Peace History Conference
On Saturday, 20 September, at the John Stanley Bell Lecture Theatre, University of Bradford, the Peace History Conference will bring together scholars, activists, and community members to explore the past, present, and future of peace efforts across the globe.
This all-day event continues a much-respected series of conferences that began in 2007, sponsored by the Movement for the Abolition of War (MAW). Each conference seeks to nurture a culture of peace by highlighting the individuals, movements, ideas, and initiatives – past and present – that have worked to promote peace, overcome violence, and abolish war.
Whether you are a student of history, a campaigner for social justice, or simply someone who believes in the power of peace, this is an opportunity to share ideas, learn from inspiring examples, and join a community dedicated to building a more peaceful world.
