A woman prepared to ask questions to power in C of E. Happy to help you do the same. AND Dangly earrings, fun.

This weekend I joined with other inclusive Christians and other anti-racists to challenge a far-right #ChristianNationalist conference in #Morecambe in the UK. This is what I learnt.

@the_ostj What does this mean?

[Karen @vicarkaren]

@the_ostj Which Prayer Book? 1549, 1552, 1662, 1928, 1980 ...
Which country's?

[Karen @vicarkaren]

Let's be clear @SteveLJenkins is mistaken. There ARE examples of CofE churches having become mosques.
@DioManchester can confirm this.

[Steve Jenkins 💙 @SteveLJenkins]

@vicarkaren @SelsdonChapman No CofE church has ever been turned into a mosque.

[Karen @vicarkaren]

@SteveLJenkins @SelsdonChapman And in my Diocese. The Bishop of Manchester has spoken of the need for many more churches to close and allowed this one to become a Mosque (same Times article)

[Karen @vicarkaren]

@SteveLJenkins @SelsdonChapman What about, for example, St Mark's, Peckham
-as reported in The Times 3rd March 2026

@carole_awebb @revwickland Yes but a 'Vicar' is a specific term in England referring to many of the parochial clergy of the Church of England. Is Mr Wickland then a vicar, or has he appropriated the term?

[Cyndi..🌻🌹💙🩵🎶 @cyndiwanek]

Yes, absolutely 💯

[Shadow Truthland @Shadowtruthland]

One has been walking for 94 years. The other, just three weeks. Guess who's copying whom.

🤣🤣🤣

[Karen @vicarkaren]

I honestly believe the racists are far out numbered by kind, nice people.

[Stand Up To Racism @AntiRacismDay]

Well done to all those opposing - & outnumbering - the far right in Gloucester today.

[Karen @vicarkaren]

@Englishremnant Is this a Church of England day?

[Karen @vicarkaren]

@FaithJarvisFSL @BishopDewar He comes across as a sad very angry man, frustrated in life.

[Karen @vicarkaren]

@carole_awebb Do you know rhere are white Muslims too, and black Christians. Its a dreadful thing to mix race and religion in hatred.

[Karen @vicarkaren]

@PhilHs10 @FreeCofEngland @RevBrettMurphy I don't consider it Christian to threaten a Bishop in this way, and to post this on social media is simply washing dirty linen in public.
We prayed for tolerance, peace and unity at Church today. May it extend to all. 🙏🙏🙏

[National Secular Society @NatSecSoc]

Allowing disclosures of child sexual abuse made during confession to go unreported under the Crime and Policing Act would be an indefensible loophole.

We're quoted in the @Telegraph on why protecting children from abuse must take precedence over religious practice👇

"The use of the pallium is reserved to the pope and archbishops who are metropolitans, but the latter may not use it until it is conferred upon them by the pope, normally at the celebration of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul in June."

[Karen @vicarkaren]

This is an interesting photo of the Confessing Anglican Church leader, Bishop Travis.
I can't identify the Bishop's Cathedral from the photo, where is it?
He is wearing the pallium, conferred by the Pope to Archbishops. Has he received it from Pope Leo?
@PhilHs10

[Karen @vicarkaren]

@ChurchTimes @nclcathedral Excellent work. Hopefully all Cathedrals will follow suit.

[Karen @vicarkaren]

@davesharp59 Some vicars have been proven to be child abusers. A higher percentage of vicars than people in the general population, I suspect.

[Karen @vicarkaren]

@carole_awebb I find those kind of remarks inflammatory, and unbecoming of a Christian.
First take the beam out of your own eye, Carole.
