UK suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst was a trained artist and in 1907 created several watercolours depicting women workers in factories, mills and potteries to highlight working women’s rights, their pay and conditions #WomensArt

In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist. In a sexist society it is not enough to be non-sexist, we must be anti-sexist.

Anti-racism and anti-sexism involve unlearning in The Church of England & other churches. As St Paul says, we must not conform to the patterns of this world (which include racism & patriarchy) but be transformed by the renewing of our minds, by the grace of God - if we will allow that

Are egalitarian churches with male and female leadership safer than complementarian churches that espouse male headship? Is that a question we are allowed to ask? #safeguarding The Church of England

This is utterly disingenuous. The UK government is NOT pulling every lever, the UK as FAILED to evacuate children from Palestine and is facing a LEGAL CHALLENGE (Guardian reported last week)

Every time I think this cartoon might be outdated, the world reminds me it’s not. I’ve reposted it for years because it’s still just as true and still fits so many moments.

From early church leaders to modern-day scholars, female theologians have contributed invaluable insights into Scripture, doctrine, and the life of faith. Join us as we highlight these women! Articles due August 1, 2025: zurl.co/HEaQP

So many parents here with their daughters to congratulate the #lionesses and fundamentally to stand united in saying we don’t want a patriarchal world anymore.

The children killed in Gaza had names, and favourite subjects in school. They wanted to be teachers, doctors and astronauts when they grew up - the same as children in the UK and across the world. They were, and still are, someone's everything: their entire universe. Children

Church life in the first century was quite unlike church life today. We need to keep this in mind when we read the New Testament letters and avoid reading into the text our modern understandings of ministry and Sunday services. margmowczko.com/the-first-cent…

#Complementarianism is a human construct generated to read the Bible so it consistently speaks of the creation-given subordination of women & the headship of men, in a way acceptable to the modern ear. Churches in The Church of England that teach this need to be transparent abt this.

This was my favourite. Thank you so much #AllanAhlberg for so many wonderful bedtime reads!

The world is not flat; it is round. Women are not the subordinate sex; they make excellent leaders. It’s time to stop teaching in #complementarian/headship churches in The Church of England that God wants women to submit to men. It’s unjust, untrue to the Gospel and frankly unsafe.

Jesus calls for the first to be last and the last first and criticises those who seek to lord it other others. Jesus is all about empowering those whom others oppress.

From the Orthdox Barbie archives: “The problem with evangelicalism today is that we think if someone strings together enough proof-texts that jives with our prior understanding, we have sound doctrine. /1

We need a hermeneutic of judging the fruit of a teaching and whether it has manifested love or violence.” - Rebekah Mui You can read the rest of the thread here: x.com/muirebekah/sta… /end

One of the great unanswerable questions of life left on my desk in vicars vestry this morning…

This is deeply shocking and disturbing news.

I just wrote my first note on Substack substack.com/profile/210646…

Some people say the church is making room for women. How much room, exactly? Funny how my “feminist” cartoons are the ones that offend men the most. Down with the patriarchy!
