Death notice in this week’s @churchtimes.bsky.social for Bishop Barry Rogerson, campaigner for women to be ‘allowed’ to be @churchofengland.org priests.
From this week’s @churchtimes.bsky.social And this from Genesis: “So God created human beings…In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Improving, & eventually achieving, gender balance in ministry will help the @churchofengland.org better reflect the nature of God.

Why is it possible that a man could be appointed #BishopofLondon who opposes equality for women in the @churchofengland.org, when #MutualFlourishing is known, despite the omertà, to have been one sided, & leaders haven’t implemented the IR review recommendations which wd be essential preconditions.

Fewer than 5% of @churchofengland.org churches support excluding women from ministry leadership, but their activists are working to get a #BishopofLondon who rejects equality for women. Please sign this petition, so that London can have a bishop who supports men & women ministering equally together.
