Mar­tin Kel­ley is an Amer­i­can Quak­er, writer, work­shop leader, and edi­tor of Friends Jour­nal. Much of his focus is on out­reach and the Chris­t­ian roots of Quakerism.

He has been blog­ging on peace and Quak­erism since 1997. The ear­li­est mate­r­i­al was writ­ten for his pub­li­ca­tion Non​vi​o​lence​.org. Over time, the writ­ing became more per­son­al and spir­i­tu­al and he launched the Quak­er Ranter blog. In recent years it’s become orga­nized as a week­ly email newslet­ter, with long-form writ­ing and cura­to­r­i­al links going out every Friday.

Mar­tin lives in a small town in the South Jer­sey pine bar­rens with his wife, four chil­dren, two dogs and four cats. He is a mem­ber of Crop­well Meet­ing in Marl­ton, N.J.
