Continued to be so dismayed by the Church of England and how the senior men have failed to have the courage to deal with abusers and protect the vulnerable. I remain a servant of God and his people, no one else.

Here is Fr Bill Addy’s sermon from our All Saints Service this morning:

🚨NEW: Donald Trump makes a veiled threat towards Michelle Obama stating that if he’s elected, “I think we're gonna start having a little fun with Michelle.” RETWEET if you stand with Michelle Obama against Trump’s hateful attacks!

AS #BlackHistoryMonth ends for another year, it's important to remember that the stories of #Black people need to be heard all year round. The BBC's new drama Mr Loverman is well worth watching - available on iPlayer: https://t.co/mGTFevUQsH

At long last they are advertising. This is an amazing job, with a civic ministry bigger than many cathedrals, a thriving congregation, and fantastic opportunities. Could you be the next Rector of Liverpool @LiverpoolParish? @LivDiocese

Victims and survivors of abuse in the Church of England are daily retraumatised by its awful safeguarding processes. I don’t think the Church does it deliberately. I think it is just chaos and incompetence. But if it turns out to be a conscious strategy, that would fit the facts.

Here is Fr Yazid Said’s sermon from this evening’s Choral Evensong:

absolute evil - where are the marches?

Something I’ve always enjoyed doing. We should be outraged about what has happened to women in Afghanistan but there seems to be deathly silence from those in power across the world

Clergy who write safeguarding witness statements can face disciplinary action under CDM if the subject of the statement doesn't like its contents. It's one of many things I experienced. The then Bishop allowed it to progress to the Pres of Tribunals, setting future precedent. 1/4

The length of time taken to resolve CDM complaints is clearly problematic for all. I am sure, though, that another CDM would never be deliberately held back until after a respondent had left office, to avoid a tribunal and a Determination in the public domain, would it??? 3/4

There is no national Church of England whistleblowing policy. Some Diocesan policies apply to clergy, but others only cover employees of a DBF. 4/4
