"everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart" Mt 5, MP today. Always wondered about this, but realised today that perhaps Jesus was way ahead of his time in calling out toxic masculinity and objectivised misogyny.

Was mildly surprised by a number of really positive comments on my Remembrance Sunday sermon, when I felt it really wasn't my best. I wish I'd been brave enough to ask, 'what points in particular struck home for you?

Whilst I agree with this statement, doctrinally, I can't help feeling that it's just another example of a male-dominated church demoting women and keeping them in their (subservient) place.

I would like this to go on the record now please. In a few years/decades when this is all over don't accuse Palestinians of leaving their homes in Gaza. Or there was a "war" and Israel won. This is a genocide and ethnic cleansing, just like what happened in 1948. Remember my words and teach them on
