The writing room is now open, ready for our scheduled session 2pm-4pm. I promise to be smiley and encouraging x "Keep shining beautiful one. The world needs your light."

Personally so excited by the upcoming FTN online event - so much so I need to tell you now! Rev Dr Kamilah Hall Sharp's book, Trauma and Survival in the Hebrew Bible is brilliant and she is going to be online with us in October!

Thank you to @deafhannah.bsky.social and Kate for keeping me company this afternoon. For our Southern Hemisphere members, Wednesday writing room is on this week.

Writing Room reminder for our southern hemisphere members - Wednesday specific Zoom link is on the latest email:

Writing Room at 2pm (BST), if anyone is writing alone and wants company...

Heeelllllllooooo Greenbelt!!!! Huge thank to to everyone who prepared, took part in and generally supported the first ever FTN liturgy. (Not that I had FOMO at all....)

IMPORTANT - Unfortunately we need to postpone Katie Gaddini's talk. We'll let you know the new date as soon as we have it. Meanwhile, there will still be a September online event and we'll keep you "in the know" when the details are sorted. Keep an eye on the WhatsApp or join the email newsletter

As the summer break is beginning, we really hope you have a restful time. We have already started planning our online programme for next year and its looking exciting. A date for your diary: Tuesday 8th September.

Writing Room reminder for our southern hemisphere members - Wednesday specific Zoom link is on the latest email:

The UK-based FTN writing room is on Monday. But in exciting news, we are running a 3-session trial of a New Zealand-based FTN writing room for members who can't attend the UK one on account of their time zone. The first NZ session is going to be on Wednesday, using the emailed out Zoom link.

News from our instagram... If you're at Greenbelt this month and fancy an FTN first, we're hosting a feminist liturgy. I would be great to meet with you in-person if you are at the festival: put Friday 28th August, 3:30pm in your programme.

Out now. Quite a few FTN members involved, just saying... Covering a range of religions and viewpoints, not that we're proud or anything.

Yep, Wilson was on NPR. He defended his propriety of rape comments. "If you know or read the stories of women from the very environment he has constructed, you will see that abuse happens there too... Wilson gets to pontificate; the women wear the scars." sarahstankorb.substack.com/p/it-is-not-...

After some criticism of the #GeneralSynod neurodiversity motion, Canon Dr Phil Groves has written this lovely response. Phil is a fellow member of the Neurodiversity Working Group of the Church of England. The motion will be debated at #Synod this afternoon. viamedia.news/2026/07/10/b...

Thank you @alexianafry.bsky.social - you are an absolute rockstar. Fascinating and generous talk.

So this is out in the world! And I get to shout out so many people whose work I admire too (not that they need it) 😀

I wrote a whole book about why women are quitting church and SBC went and summarized a lot of it in one vote, picking a new president who opposes women's service to the church as leaders, denies the well-evidenced abuse crisis, and is supported by creeps with more anxiety about anti-racism...

"While secular journalists, scholars, and even the Pope are wrestling with big questions about Artificial Intelligence, the war in the Middle East, and what it means to be truly human, the Southern Baptists have decided the most urgent problem in 2026 is banning women from preaching."

FTN online writing rooms will continue over the summer. Next one is 8th June 2-4pm BST. Link is on your FTN newsletter. If you haven't signed up already, go to feministtheologynetwork.org and the link is on the top right of the page.

The book is great, so I am very excited for this. I know I gave the details early doors - don't worry, we'll keep reminding you! Join the email list to receive the Zoom link: feministtheologynetwork.org. Any access needs, please get in touch and we will do our best.

Timothy Goode, interviewed in this article, is the author of Breaking, Not Broken, which discusses the theological need for accessibility in (all areas of) historic buildings like York Minster. Find out more about the book here: scmpress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978033... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Access ramp first change for York Minster in 200 years

The installation of the ramp means that visitors can access the quire without needing to use steps.
