Celebrating 30 years of women priests! Giving thanks for my mother who led the way, ordained in 2000. And many other brilliant and fearless women of God who have journeyed with me. Growing up in the 90s with female priests & Spice Girls made me feel girls could do anything.

Today we celebrate the 30th anniversary of women's ordination to the priesthood.
On 12 March 1994, the first 32 women to become priests in the Church of England were ordained at Bristol Cathedral.
Join us in giving thanks for women priests and their ministry.

A joy to see 12 candidates from the Sherborne Deanery confirmed this morning (10 from the Abbey who we have been preparing for the last few weeks.) And a privilege to serve as deacon and step in as Bishops Chaplain. Exhausted but elated! @SherborneAbbey @DioSalisbury @bishopsarum

Tonight over 150 female clergy will gather to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the ordination of women priests in the Church of England. It's been a privilege to play a small part in the arrangements and to serve in @dioceseoflondon with the leadership of @bishopSarahM
Yay! First time I can participate in this! 4 services today, and midnight mass was just sublime. We’ve had more than 2,000 people through Sherborne Abbey today and it’s been tiring but glorious #clergymaltclub

Downloaded You Tube music, and laughing at the first suggestions of what it thinks my music is- Black Parade, My Chemical Romance, Shine Jesus Shine (live) and a cast recording of Ru Paul’s drag race 😂

Such a privilege to see @MoonchildBecca ordained deacon this morning at @SalisburyCath. 9 years of friendship, sharing both our vocations and our sending parish. Great to have another strong rural advocate in @DioSalisbury, too! – at Salisbury, England

At the station with a cup of tea, a huge bag and my cassock and surplice! Off on pre-ordination retreat at Sarum College, please do pray for me. Also pray as, nearly 7 years since I had my eldest son, this will be the longest I’ve been away from the children. Thank you 🙏🏻

What awfully sad news, what a powerful and compelling woman with an incredible voice and songs we all know and love. I also think of her as the Acid Queen in Tommy! Rest in peace
