Better late than never, here’s @julesbaird.bsky.social ‘s article in @[email protected] on #BishopBudde ‘s homily following #Trump ‘s inauguration. #womenbishops work #Budde #MariannBudde #AnglicanWomen

Yes the German Catholic Church made an accommodation with Hitler and the Nazis. (See Bonhoeffer story). As Julia Baird asks: Will the US churches, Catholic and Protestant, now ignore the Bible and its fundamental teachings to accommodate Trump?

Donald Trump should apologize to Bishop Mariann Budde.

#BishopBudde #Trump #Mercy

He’s using the/his classic manipulator’s playbook response to any criticism: #DARVO = Deny Attack Reverse the Victim and Offender Increasingly people recognise the DARVO technique for deflecting any criticism. #BishopBudde simply did what Jesus asks of her at the #NationalPrayerService.

Our 2024 Trinity Today magazine is now available to read online. This year Trinity Today takes a closer look at both our own strategic direction, but also that of a variety of sectors, with expert input from our alumni and community members. Take a read: bit.ly/TrinityToday...

Thank you #Malala for standing up for #AfghanWomen

Yes. So it’s important that the next #archbishopofcanterbury is a woman, to show that the #Anglican @churchofengland.org understands equity/justice, + is able to move forward with a clean slate on that, as well as on safeguarding.

Just noting that the @churchofengland.org #BishopofNewcastle @helenannhartley.bsky.social has academic credentials, & experience of the Anglican Communion, as well as the proven strength and integrity, to be a good #ArchbishopofCanterbury

When she left her family in India as a teenager to study in Australia, Reverend Lydia Thangadurai never imagined that she would be ordained, let alone become Australia’s first-ever Succentor. melbourneanglican.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Encouraging article on whether a woman #ArchbishopofCanterbury would be acceptable to the #AnglicanCommunion representatives. #AnglicanWomen What are your views? Please do add your comments to the end of the article. viamedia.news/2025/01/06/t...

"Our collective experience has shown that when women have the power to make their own choices, good things happen."

Encouragement from Graftondiocese.org.au ‘Women's ministry is fully affirmed here. We were the first Australian diocese to have a woman as diocesan Bishop, and first to have a female registrar back in the 1960s. Also 50% of our clergy are women inc a woman Dean and 3 out of 5 Archdeacons.’

We can’t have an acting #ArchbishopofCanterbury whose reputation is shot, & who looks like an old, desperate hanger-on, from the bad old days. Come on #StephenCottrell: it’s beyond time to retire, & allow the new @ChurchofEngland leadership generation take their timely place.

Be sure and notice, the Blessed Mother gets books for Christmas.

Banter banter banter - women ‘of a certain age’ have got to the stage of life where they don’t feel they have to take the shit dumped on them anymore - that’s why it’s often us that ends up doing the whistleblowing. Glad some men get it though 👇🏽

Oh 💯

There has to be a check on the unbridled misogynistic leadership practices of #SydneyAnglican leadership. Lay people will have to connect, & develop a strong public voice to resist the suppression of #SydneyDiocese ’s churches’ moral right to choose to appoint women ministers too, if they so wish.

If people who know better stopped using friends & children’s programs as excuses and stopped going to toxic churches, we could move the needle much faster. Christian patriarchy only works bc ‘good people’ support it; Racism only continues bc ‘good people’ let it. Sorry, y’all. Just tired today.

Women’s ordination needs to be made safer but at least it’s now ‘allowed’, if not ‘embraced’, in the Lutheran Church of Aus&NZ: #AnglicanWomenPriests #AnglicanWomen

Attention, all female pastors and people who love them! We have an awesome new merch design called Women Preaching--from @hercherch.bsky.social ! It comes in hoodies, mugs, notebooks, wall hangings--and more! sheilawraygregoire.com/product-cate...

Analyze the thought-manipulating language of #MaleHeadship : 1. ‘ #EqualButDifferent ‘ This phrase implies genuine fairness, but it’s really used deceptively, cloaking that this doctrine is *actually* about men having authority over women. Who would have known? #SydneyAnglicans #ChurchToo #GAFCON

If you're looking for a new Bible, @margmowczko.bsky.social has done a deep dive into what translations are most accurate overall, especially when it comes to how they treat women. Here's a great article about it (including her two favourites!) margmowczko.com/best-bible-t...

Hello from the Church of England as we join Bluesky. We're a church for all, online and in every community, and we'd love for you to join us here - or at AChurchNearYou.com. [📸: @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social]

“For the next few days, I will be highlighting 12 books that, in different ways, disrupt complementarian theology. Each book is strong enough in its own purpose. Taken together, they are “more strong”—strong enough to end Christian patriarchy.” open.substack.com/pub/bethalli...

Was browsing articles in hard comp denom magazine yesterday & was sad to see they were (all but one as best I could tell) written by men, board entirely male, etc. There's nothing ideologically preventing a comp pub from publishing women, but IMO comp theo often leads to this.+

Rev Ann Edwards introduces the first speaker for today at the #MOWConference24. #AnglicanWomen #SydneyAnglicans #ChurchToo

I love being a speech pathologist. I never expected to be a priest as well. Had it not been for The Movement for the Ordination of Women - I wouldn't be... The National Conference is MoW Aus kicks off tomorrow - preach it, sisters!

I'm following the updates on the MoW Australia National Conference by @anglicanwomen.bsky.social - and I'm here too!

Theologian Marg Mowczko talks at the #MOWConference24 on Ministering from the Margins and Leading Like a Mother

Big response from the floor to view that in #SydneyDiocese we see a group of men who’ve used the governance arrangements to gain control + then force #MaleHeadship on churches that don’t want it. #CoerciveControl #ChurchToo #SydneyAnglicans #Complementarian

Discussing where the idea of #MaleHeadship goes when you take it to its logical conclusion. #SydneyAnglicans

MOW conference gets off to a start. #AnglicanWomen #SydneyAnglicanWomen

Archbishop of Brisbane Jeremy Greaves introducing the MOW Conference #AustralianAnglicanWomen

@drjuliabaird.bsky.social We are a small group of women working for fully equality for women & men in Anglican ministry globally, & particularly in #SydneyDiocese. We’d be so grateful if you could give us a follow!

The Australian MOW (Movement for the Ordination of Women) Conference began last night, at St John’s Cathedral, Brisbane, with talk by Chair Elaine Lindsay. So many men attending: a real encouragement. @ #SydneyAnglicans
