On the Jeremy Vine show today people saying how many want to be given mental health labels. An unethical therapist tried to do that to me once. Thankfully I I got away from her and found someone else to help me heal. Rather not be inappropriately pigeonholed. 😀

Shame the debate on diocesan finances was moved to the end of #synod rather than debated this morning as timetabled. No point spending hrs debating CNCs if dioceses start going bankrupt.

++Stephen talks about the five guiding principles. My opinion is they work for men with certain opinions but they're really about legalising discrimination against women. How like the C of E to legislate to include bigotry... #synod.

+Sarah defends women in the church. Well done and thank you for your heart-felt and emotionally real defence. #synod.

Always good to hear and see +Sarah. She was an excellent local suffragan before moving on to higher things... #synod

I do hope the C of E continue to fund retirement housing for #clergy. It would be a major blow to many otherwise... #synod

Interesting q re gluten free wafers. Haven't taken communion since going gluten free. Does this merit a debate at synod - surely gf should be offered automatically #synod. I hardly think God will mind!

I long stopped going to church. With OH on his fourth #clergy post I got tired of the grief. Ironically we're in a really supportive set of parishes now but it got too much over the years. If a clergy spouse stops going, it's not surprising others have dropped out too... #synod

With the increase in part-time #clergy posts there'll be an inevitable discrimination against those without any other family income like pensions, another earner in the family, capital etc... #synod

Lovely to see my husband's second training incumbent - the charming and wonderful Douglas Dettmer - at #synod. I've also caught sight of the first which wasn't so pleasant... 🤣

Wondering how much stomach I've got for the #synod live-stream this week. It's like a food you know is bad for you but you keep going back... 🤣

Walk into OH's study with a cheery hello and then realise he's on prayer Zoom. Initially grateful I didn't say anything rude but now wondering whether the s**t that came to mind in my hasty retreat was articulated or not...😂 #VicarageLife...

The orange one tries to score cheap points in the midst of tragedy. Prayers for families of those lost.

Not really appropriate for the clergy to swear an oath of obedience to any bishop when the episcopal office is increasingly in disrepute. We're not a feudal society any more... #ChurchofEngland...

Whilst a Masterchef presenter has potentially contributed to losing #MiddleClassWomanOfaCertainAge from viewing figures I would feel sorry for contestants of Professional Masterchef if the show is pulled as it's about their careers and getting themselves and their cooking known.

So if someone's a #MiddleClassWomanOfaCertainAge they're invisible and not worth listening to? Think the WI going for Tony Blair, think the Suffragettes and so much more and think again... 😀

Greg Wallace appears to imply that middle class women of a certain age don't have a voice worth listening to+can be easily dismissed . I would suggest that these women are often intelligent, experienced, less easily silenced and know what we're talking about... Don't tell us we don't have a voice 😃

On the rare occasions I enter OH's parish churches always amused/perplexed by people asking me what we're doing for Christmas. Really??? 🤣 #VicarageLife...
