I am privileged to have known two wonderful women who sadly this week have died after a long illness. As it happens both women were women of faith and I know that they don’t see this as the end for … Continue reading

In all of the excitement this week of the Church of England finally appointing their first female Bishop some bizarre behaviour by the Government could easily get overlooked. In the Church of England, Bishops are usually addressed by the title Bishop … Continue reading
