If you are Anglo Catholic how do you have women officiating? Are you Anglo-Catholic or not? Or are you confirmed as liberal Catholic now? This would be useful to know.

The use of ‘safe space’ here is insensitive & provocative. The Church has failed to be a ‘safe space’ for so many precisely because she refused to acknowledge & honour the lived experience of many, & now
@ceecuk
wants us to do exactly that for them. ‘Tis hypocrisy at its finest.
Given the decision of the General Synod to depart from our biblical foundations, the Church of England now needs to provide safe space for faithfulness to a biblical doctrine of sex and marriage.
