Paul Ingram is director of BASIC, an NGO working on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation He has particular expertise on Iran and often represents Iranian perspectives in meetings Paul is in the Quaker Peace & Social Witness group on human security and the environment He feels that Quakers have a contribution to make to sustainability
My green politics followed my peace awareness My older brother came back from college talking about nuclear weapons I couldn’t understand how humans could be so stupid I went on my first CND march at fourteen and came into contact with Quakers for the first time I started attending Meeting in Reigate as a sixth former Sitting in silence for an hour was incredibly challenging but worthwhile and Quakerism seemed to be a section of the church that practised what it preached – but didn’t preach
