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!

"so many young people who aspire to get work and find a decent home in which to live, but who are consistently held back by a lack of available jobs and affordable housing." YMCA

Response to the Chancellor’s 2014 Budget announcement

Wednesday, 19 March 2014 14:41

Responding to the Chancellor's 2014 Budget speech earlier today Denise Hatton, Chief Executive, YMCA England says: "The Chancellor openly states that his budget was one for the 'makers, doers and savers' of the country, but what about those not lucky enough to be in this position? YMCAs across the country help so many young people who aspire to get work and find a decent home in which to live, but who are consistently held back by a lack of available jobs and affordable housing. We need to see a stronger commitment from Government to address the needs of single young people if we are going to be in a position to nurture the next generation of 'makers, doers and savers' and secure the long term economic recovery that the Chancellor is looking to achieve."
