We often joke about women being the better multitaskers. It’s a sweeping statement, but not without a nugget of truth. So how is the church at multitasking?

When it comes to patterns of looking at who is missing from our churches, in our leadership and in the mission and ministry we do, we often look at one thing at a time. And then, having looked at some other things, we have to revisit what we’ve done before. Again, this is a sweeping statement, but not without a nugget of truth.

Since the pandemic, we have rightly looked in depth at issues around race and have regularly returned to it. We’ve also, in realising who is missing, looked at poverty, the issue of ‘class’, immigration and probably much more. One at a time, to different levels.
