1. "Being a Bishop's Visitor at the
moment has been one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had. Challenging,
certainly, infuriating occasionally. Without doubt, being a Bishop's Visitor has
shown me the political side of the Christian life. I've learned more about my
personal beliefs and what I'm prepared to stand up for. Surprisingly, I've
learned a lot about the tension between politics (what the Church values and the
role it plays in British society) and economics (what the Church can pay for).
Without question, the women I have met through "visiting" and Broken Rites have been some of the most courageous, articulate and loving women I've known, and it has been a privilege to work for and with them. The Church needs to hear their voices and I hope that our work as Visitor will help women draw comfort and love from the Church community."

2. "The work of the Bishop's Visitor is
often thought of as giving "advice", meaning direction or pointing to a
specific way forward out of a predicament. Rather, it is helping to
identify all possible options and choices relating to the individual
circumstances and giving ongoing and practical and emotional support."
