Many more women must have been involved in the birth and life of Jesus than we are told in the Gospels. So where are they all?Let’s try putting some women back into the picture this Christmas. A lot of families (surely it’s not just us) have extra sheep. Let’s add some female figures to represent what is, after all, the majority of the people in the pews, if not in the hierarchy. Let’s not just “value the contribution of women to the Church” (synodal Working Document); let’s try and make women more visible in every area of Church life, especially where our children can see them. Where are the women? Right in front of you.
