Archbishop of York: “Don’t be a shouty campaigner on safeguarding – we don’t listen to the shouty people”. The Archbishop of York can choose to ignore me and others; but if the Church had listened. perhaps Justin Welby wouldn’t be standing down.

Charity Commission responds to open letter on Church of England safeguarding fiasco. As the Charity Commission refuses to properly hold the Archbishops' Council to account, now is the time for a full public statutory inquiry.

Jasvinder Sanghera, sacked by the Archbishops' Council as its Independent Safeguarding Board's survivor advocate for advocating too well, is continuing to work with the ISB-11 - those victims and survivors the ISB were working with before it was scrapped.

Archbishop Stephen Cottrell also talked of the need not just to talk about justice and love but to "walk the talk". I've told @CottrellStephen he speaks fine words while taking no action for a few years now. Will he radically change his approach, or is this more empty words.

Ladies, "mansplaining" is when men tell you things you already know. ;-).

For now, I wish everyone a very happy, peaceful and joy-filled Christmas. And I sign off for now with one of my favourite (but theologically challenging) carols - critiqued by many for mansplaining in action.

Because of the way victims and survivors of church-based abuse treated, I can no longer call it #MyChurchOfEngland. I long for the day when the Archbishops' Council deals with safeguarding properly, so that news coverage can focus on the Good News of the Gospel of Christ.

Did you know that Mariah Carey shuns turkey for Christmas and opts for roast lamb instead?. All she wants for Christmas is ewe.

Christmas should be a time of joy. But for many, it is anything but. If you're feeling alone and isolated this Christmas, reach out to people who can support you.
For those finding Christmas tough, it's important to remember that it's okay to not feel festive,reach out to loved ones for support & focus on the simple, meaningful aspects rather than the pressure of a "perfect" day.If needed,seek professional help to manage difficult emotions
