Yes I have changed my pronouns just a little. Mostly because I’m absolutely fed up with fragile masculinity and all the pain and abuse it brings with it. This is not where I choose to live.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Notes on portraits of Revs Catherine Bond & Jane Pearse and Rev Andrew Dotchin

Jane Pearse and Catherine Bond, London, 2024

Following the Church of England's historic decision, in February 2023, to allow blessings to same-sex couples, the Reverends Catherine Bond and Jane Pearse were among the first same-sex couples to receive a blessing within an Anglican service. They met in Suffolk while training for ordination. The prayers of blessing, at St John the Baptist Church in Felixstowe on 17 December 2023, were led by the Reverend Canon Andrew Dotchin.

Reverend Andrew Dotchin, London, 2024

Ordained in the Anglican Church of Southern Africa in 1984, Canon Dotchin became known for his anti-apartheid activities and promoted the ordained ministry of women and Black people in the South African Church.
On returning to England, he served in parishes in his home Diocese in Suffolk and forged links with Suffolk Pride. He is a chaplain and a champion for Inclusion amongst the Royal Air Force Air Cadets.
Nicknamed 'The Wizard of Woke', Canon Dotchin says, ‘sometimes insults become compliments!’

The name "Adam" comes from "adamah" - Hebrew for earth/soil. Adam's name doesn't mean "man" but "earth creature". "Eve" is similarly an earth creature. They only get their gendered names "Adam and Eve (which means "living") - along with their respective "jobs" and attendant curses two chapters later
