Afters years of requests & now pressure from us & others, some @churchofengland.org churches are being more open & honest with clergy applicants & churchgoers over their PCC’s policy of excluding women from ministry:
From @churchtimes.bsky.social 5.9.25.

Martin Poole, speaking re injustice to protected groups in the @churchofengland.org ‘s General #Synod today quotes:

‘Power concedes nothing without a demand…[Look at] what people submit to, & you’ve found out the exact measure of injustice & wrong that will be imposed upon them.’

Time to demand.

4. For those unaware, the diocesan bishop of Chichester, Martin Warner is a leader in this ‘Society’, which is broadly against women being priests in the @churchofengland.org , as they explain (see post 3.)

3. Like the bishop, the new archdeacon is a priest of ‘The Society’.

For the uninitiated, this is a society of male clergy who don’t ’fully affirm’ women priests in the @churchofengland.org : see sswsh.com here:

The @churchofengland.org hasn’t produced/funded #MinistryStatistics post 2022. Why?

So the Church provides no current information on our progress to gender balance in ministry.

The latest data shows Chichester’s gender imbalance.

CofE bishops are again saying they’ll commission some work to seek improvements to how the #WomenBishops settlement works.
We’ve had 10 yrs of meetings/pieces of work:
the recommendations haven’t been implemented &
concerns not resolved.There’s no confidence left.

@churchnewspaper.bsky.social has an article this week discussing equal treatment for women in the @churchofengland.org
April 17, 2025 at 1:54 PM
A marvellous gathering of women and men who want to see
@churchofengland treat women and men equally (and a lovely dog...) #NotEqualYet
April 16, 2025 at 11:19 AM
To clarify: Bp Rosemarie Mallett is not ‘at the forefront of a new campaign’.
She merely spoke at our most recent conference.
We announced our new campaign direction a year ago.

And the @churchofengland is part of the ‘catholic church’, with a small c, not the Roman ‘Catholic Church’.

A @churchofengland.org priest was told he could not consecrate the bread and wine at Holy Communion at the #WalsinghamShrine, just because he was ordained by a woman bishop, and not a man.

Did you know this could happen?

Women are #NotEqualYet in the #ChurchofEngland
