39: Comic Relief Specials - The Bishop of Dibley
We are the Vicars Watch Dibley - three female priests who love the Vicar of Dibley and want to talk about how it matches real life! In this episode we look at the two comic relief specials dealing with Women Bishops. We talk about what it means for us that woman can now be Bishops, who we'd prefer to be our Bishop and what it means for all women everywhere. ------- Follow us: Instagram @vicarswatchdibley | Twitter @VicarsWatch | Facebook @VicarsWatchDibley Contact us by email at vicarswatchdibley@gmail.com ------- Hosts: Revd Ruthi Gibbons (Twitter @RevRuthi, Instagram @ruthigibbons) Revd Jenny Bland (Twitter @EarlsBartonVic, Instagram @thevicartoday) Revd Cate Thomson (Twitter @catethomson, Instagram @revdcate) Music and editing by Revd Toby Gibbons. ------ Any opinions expressed in this episode are our own and do not necessarily represent those of the Church of England or any other organisations with which we are affiliated.
