Do you want a #BishopofLondon who views & treats men & women as equals?
Or do you want one whose position is that women should be under the authority of men?
The latter cd happen, & only public opinion can stop it now.

Let's stop this opportunistic & misogynistic laying into @bishopSarahM over the #Ashrafi affair and address the greater issue highlighted here - the crime against humanity of men who seek to blot women out of public life. womenandthechurch.org/blog/o…

Interesting story in Normal Women by @PhilippaGBooks when she says that the Bishop of Bath & Wells authorised women in the Catholic Church in England in 14thC to act as priests. This was during the Black Death, of course, when a man might not be available to give the last rites.

Tim Wyatt in his Critical Friend blog is incorrect, ignoring what we’ve >>>repeatedly>>>> pointed out:
the terms of the 2014 settlement
have not been observed.
We are ‘complaining’ about it.
It was not predictable.

‘real change was never polite’ - thanks for the reminder @nakedpastor Please risk not being polite by signing this petition and saying no a bishop of London who doesn’t ordain women c.org/9SYPKFYLcy
People love celebrating historic protests while ignoring that real change was never polite. Civil rights, anti-apartheid, justice movements… they all required people willing to make noise, cause waves, and disrupt the status quo.

Did anyone from WATCH stand for election to the Vacancy in See Committee? This is the supposedly ‘conservative-heavy’ group that, after extensive meetings and discernment, drafted and published the Statement of Needs for the next Bishop of London. Its members were all elected. It was a democratic process. 👍

Is it possible that a man cd be made #BishopofLondon who opposes equality for women in the @churchofengland
when #MutualFlourishing is known,
despite the omertà, to have been one sided, & leaders haven’t implemented the review recommendations which wd be a minimal precondition.
Let's have a Bishop of London who ordains women and accepts the spiritual authority of our archbishop of Canterbury - please, Anglicans, sign this petition to say this is what we want for the biggest diocese in our country c.org/y6TgNJ9QMY
