"We often carry heavy loads, juggle complex responsibilities and don’t feel we are good enough. But the truth is usually the reverse, and the church needs more women in leadership roles, nationally, at diocesan levels and local level. We need to hear each other’s stories, encourage each other’s vocations, build each other’s confidence, and stand up for each other when necessary."

If you would like to be involved please don’t hesitate to contact me for a chat.” Felicity is always happy to hear from you by phone or email.
