Jenny Baker new book - EQUALS



Today is the official launch date of Equals, although I think it’s been available for the last week or so. This video, filmed by the wonderful Jo Dolby, gives a quick summary of what the books about for those who don’t have much time for reading!
I’m really grateful for the people who have let me share their stories of putting equality into practice on the blog over the last couple of weeks:
Miriam Swaffield in student work
Fran and Craig Walsh, talking about sharing out the domestic stuff
Sonia and Iain Mainstone Cotton on marriage and bringing up girls
Matt Summerfield at work, church and events
Lis and Dwayne Baraka on choosing a surname
Becky Hunter-Kelm on youth and schools work
Ruth Wells on parenting and
Jonny Baker talking about the need to see

For those of you who want to think through what the bible says about men and women, you can download my  overview of egalitarian theology which has some suggestions of books to read.
I’m loving hearing that the book is sparking good conversations – long may that continue!
