I am a theologian, writer, speaker and organiser working for justice and peace.
Today I'm marking #HumanRightsDay.
I increasingly fear that human rights are under threat in the UK. Specifically, the rights of refugees, people of global majority heritage, trans people and disabled people.

I’m so proud of the Open Table Network. They are the epitome of what pride should be: people coming together to support each other in authentic and non-judgmental community.
WE DID IT!

Loved writing a chapter in here around trans pregnancy. An element of trans experience which is rarely discussed in the current discourse as it is not convenient to do so in light of binary narratives.
You too can have deep thoughts about the body and theology by checking out this collection here!

The Motability scheme is necessary for me to be able to work. The type of car I can drive as a disabled person is not available to me outside of the scheme.

I am one of many whose family members gave their lives to defend this country, and others, against the extreme right.
On this Remembrance Sunday, watching with horror as so many become fooled by the same propaganda, and join in the same horrific hatemongering.
Praying, as ever, for peace.

It was moving to be able to work with members of Solidarity Hub, a community from my previous ministry, whilst helping to organise and facilitate the For Goodness Sake gathering in my new(ish!) @publicissues.bsky.social role.
Solidarity as activism: a renewal of togetherness and hope.
Super interesting workshop with our very own Alex Clare-Young

Very excited to be in the DARE primer on global queer theologies with a group of fantastic queer theologians who I feel privileged to know and work with.

I had a really bad experience on the trains this week, but I’m not going to rehash that here. Instead, I want to tell you about today’s positive experience of at Cambridge North Station, as a hopeful counterpoint and a nod towards good practice.

Finally got pip decision. ook 9 months, and that is without appeals. During that time I have had to take out finance and ask for help to cover the gap, which I am grateful is something I was able to do.

Inclusive Church affirms trans and non-binary identities.
We hope this will be news to no one. We have always believed that our trans and enby siblings are entirely belovèd of God, and we continue to believe so!
