    Neurodiverse clergy fear exclusion from ministry

    An interesting article. I'm not neurodiverse, myself, but I recognise the challenges some of my colleagues face here. Is this a conversation the church needs to be having more widely...

    Consultation on the nomination of the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury

    To my astonishment, members of the global Anglican Communion are invited to have input into the appointment of the next Archbishop of Canterbury. " The Archbishop of Canterbury is a key leader within the Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion, which is made up of churches in over...

    How complementarian dynamics mirror coercive control

    Note: this is in the Egalitarian forum. This is a really useful discussion on how complementarian marriage advice basically mirrors and plays into coercive control. It puts into words a lot of things I've recognised but struggled to articulate.

    Anglican Primates enjoy historic meeting with Pope Francis

    Don't know if anyone else is following news from the Primates' meeting, but this sounded positive: "The Pope said: "Only a love that becomes gratuitous service, only the love that Jesus taught and embodies, will bring separated Christians closer to one another. Only that love, which does not...

    Honour thy church mothers

    Note: this is in the Egalitarian forum. This is an interesting piece on how women's ministry tends to be valued less by churches. While I'm personally not a fan of gender-segregated ministry to start with, if you're going to have it, it only seems reasonable to invest in it properly...

    What's it like to be an Anglican priest?

    Elsewhere on the forum, @AlexB23 asked me, "So, what is it like to be an Anglican priest in general Mother Paidiske? How does that differ from say Protestantism, Catholicism or Orthodoxy?" I couldn't answer properly there, so I thought I'd come and start a thread, and maybe others might like to...

    Anglican perspectives on concelebration

    Does anyone have any resources on Anglican thinking on concelebration (perspectives either in favour or not)? I've had a bit of a search, but haven't been able to find anything specifically Anglican addressing the question.

    International women's day

    This popped up on my FB today. I must admit, technology doesn't strike me as the heart of the problem, and therefore I'm not sure it's going to be the solution... (any more, than, say, inventing a washing machine but still thinking all things laundry are "women's work"). But it's an...
