What upsets me most about The Salt Path being false is that it reinforced the view in society that even when terminally ill it’s possible to walk hundreds of miles. It fed into how politicians and DWP assessors view illness & capability - and it’s not true observer.co.uk/news/national/…

I have been in more male only and man dominated spaces than I care to admit professionally, in church leadership, and educationally. In EVERY case the lack of female representation and participation allowed and perpetuated immaturity on the part of men.

We often assume that if sufferers are bringing God’s glory into their suffering, they will not scream or bleed but sit quietly, hands folded, and smile peacefully. Glory is never found in such pretense. Our glorious Lord screamed and bled.

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

Was at the House of Lords yesterday for a reception to mark Commons victory of the assisted dying Bill. The predominant feeling was the sense of hope it has given to those suffering (& those who fear they might be one day) to know that a release might be possible if ever needed

At last July's York #generalsynod, Dave and Clive were promoting their new The Sheepfold project. Since then we have lost them both. I won't be watching Synod this time, but will be thinking of all involved.

Astonishing. 22 bishops voted against a groundbreaking proposal to redirect a mere 1% of the Church Commissioners enormous wealth to fund impoverished parishes and bankrupt dioceses. Now they will need to return to their dioceses and demand parish shares go up. Shame on them.

Sick of the misogyny about the female police officers in the Manchester Airport attack. In this footage, if you watch the various angles, you can clearly see the officer with the broken nose GETS BACK UP AND DOES HER JOB handcuffing the arsehole who smashed her and her fellow

👏👏👏 Gisèle Pelicot, the French woman who earned international recognition after publicly testifying at her mass-rape trial last year, has been given France's top honour. The 72-year-old was named knight of the Legion of Honour on a list announced ahead of Bastille Day.
