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.

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.

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.
