Had a great weekend in Manchester catching up with Anna Buckley and Henna Wilson, they are both doing great! Anna is well on her way to becoming the world's best English/French Primary teacher and Henna achieved 349% of her targets at work but even so has exciting plans for the future which will mean a big change!
I had a nice time on Tuesday - at a Catherdral service - not usually my thing but I was invited and I thought - why not! It was a celebration of 10 years of women priests in Wales so it was full of women vicars - vicar of Dibley and all that! At the end of the service all the women vicars in their dog collars were 'processing' down the aisle to the last song of 'We are marching in the light of God' and they were literally dancing! We were all clapping along to the music and then when they'd finished they decided to go around again getting the men vicars and even the Bishops to join in the dancing - it was so unlike you imagine a cathedral service to be and it was so much fun! The preacher also said about how they'd come a long way as women but they still had a mountain to climb - a purple headed mountain! (Purple being the colour the bishops wear!) Well if it's right for women to be vicars then why not bishops - the Bible doesn't make a distinction - they didn't even have bishops in those days!
