"The Christian story reminds us that humanity is wonderfully diverse. The vision of God's Kingdom is not one where differences disappear, but one where people from every nation, tribe, language and culture stand together in dignity and praise. Diversity is not a problem to be solved. It is a gift to be received."

Love this interview with the Revd Naomi Nixon from St Clare's at the Cathedral !

A female vicar who makes clerical tops and dresses for other clergywomen said it felt "wonderful" to help them express themselves.

The Reverend Naomi Nixon, a minister at St Clare's at the Cathedral in Coventry, said there was otherwise not much choice out there for female priests.
