Welcome

I’m Mark Russ, a Quaker theologian, writer, teacher, facilitator and musician, based in the UK. Welcome to my website!

Here you can read the many blogs posts I’ve written since JollyQuaker.com began in 2013.

You can also discover what I’ve written elsewhere, including my first book “Quaker Shaped Christianity: how the Jesus story and the Quaker way fit together” (Christian Alternative, 2022), and my upcoming book “The Spirit of Freedom: Quaker-shaped Christian theology” (Christian Alternative, 2024).

You can also find out more about me and my work as a writer, teacher, facilitator and speaker.

All views expressed on this website are my own, and may not reflect the opinions of any organisation I’m employed by.
