Lesley-Anne reminds Synod the networked nature of the church is no excuse for inconsistency

Agreed. Please help bring change Not Equal Yet Conference - IN PERSON & ONLINE eventbrite.co.uk/e/not-equal…
This is not a Church of England I recognise. How can you say all are welcome while we know discrimination is rife? Such a rosy, aspirational view of a loving Church of England would be wonderful! But it isn't reality. #Synod

In this morning's service, we are taking time to reflect on John The Baptist who was the New Testament's first 'shouty' person as well as other 'shouty' people.

In memory of my Dave and to commemorate his love of the Guide Dig carol service, here’s that service from 2011 😔. I was actually going to be there for this year’s program, alas, that won’t be happening.
Here’s to you, Dave ☃️

If choice is to mean the ability to choose to be assisted in ending your own life, it must equally mean the ability for all to choose specialised and quality mental health, social and palliative care.

It’s quite something when figures as politically opposed as @HarrietHarman and @NadineDorries are united in calling for the Bishops to be turfed out of the @UKHouseofLords in the wake of the abuse scandal: real trouble ahead for @churchofengland …

If you remember our dear late friend Dave Lucas and honour his memory, please re-tweet.
He never let such injustice pass unreported.

I haven't had much chance to reflect on #transgenderdayofremembrance this year because I've had a lot going on, but last year I was honoured to share in a service from @Ord_Off Grateful for allies, and for communities of prayer, love, and inclusion

Some of my friends and family died because they dared to say their own name.
Please pause on #tdor2024 and remember those who find it too frightening to let people know who they are.

Reflection for Safeguarding Sunday:
It has taken the courage of survivors to uncover the secrets of abuse in the Church of England. If you are looking for Christ, don’t look in palaces where the powerful live. You will find Christ among the poor, the shamed and the broken.

Just finished the incredible book Invisible Jesus. Thank you to @scotmcknight and Tommy Phillips for asking the critical question - are we following Jesus or rules established by men.
Jesus is calling everyone - “Follow me!”

Over and over the public statements of @churchofengland are debunked by the facts.
The notion that it’s the job of survivors of abuse to protect others, while people in positions of authority claim impotence, is ridiculous.
@churchofengland needs to do better. Much better.
I am the victim that reported John Smyth in 2012. A year later, the Diocese of Ely got on the case. I see people like @seatrout defending Stephen Conway, who failed me so badly, so here‘s a thread with some emails. The original letter was sent to Cape Town in Aug 2013 🧵1
