After the General Synod debate following completion of the Living in Love and Faith process I began to realise that I am being seen, that we progressives seeking justice and equality are seen, as agents contaminating the Church. I subsequently began to see that we are actually the active ingredients necessary to cleanse the Church from those advocating misogyny, homophobia, transphobia and racism, fuelling the systemic prejudice and abuse that contaminates the Christian Church.
