Quaker Council for European Affairs (QCEA)

Quaker Council for European Affairs (QCEA) had a chequered time in the past year, with staffing controversies. However, the appointment of a communications/fundraising officer is now in hand.

More importantly, the process of appointing a new Director by the end of the summer is now underway, drawing on lessons learned and involving the services of a human-resources professional. Thus QCEA is still ‘our Quaker voice in Europe’. And as you can see in the latest issue of its Around Europe newsletter, QCEA still offers a window on post-Brexit Europe for us at home.

It is still a respected partner among the rather few Brussels NGOs witnessing to humane and principled policies for people, economics, and public life – in a world of massive business lobbying, especially the arms trade and big pharma. It also keeps the faith-based voice alive – alongside the perhaps more inward-looking bodies such as the Conference of European Churches and the Catholic Bishops.
