Pushing at the frontiers of change

In 2009, Quakers in Britain decided to seek a change in the law to see same-sex marriage as equal to opposite-sex marriage. It was a joyful and proound moment in Quakers' history, but one that took dcades to reach. In this fascinating book, David Blamires charts that history, from the publication of "Towards a Quaker view of sex" in 1963 and the response it provoked, to the challenges in the lead-up to 2009. Throughout, legal issues and attitudes in society are described along-side personal accounts and an exploration of Quakers' wider input into the conversation about homosexuality.
