Are we balanced?

The Engage Network is a collaboration of organisations, churches and individuals, with a vision to: “make singleness or marriage a genuine choice for all Christian women and men, through a church which is gender-balanced and teaches about healthy Christian singleness, dating and marriage”. Co-chair Annabel Wheeldon-Clarke explains how the male/female imbalance in Church affects us all.

Are you single or married? If someone asked you what impact the Church has had on your situation, what would you say?

There will be all sorts of responses, but there are some key issues that impact us all. You could say they’re a bit like an iceberg, as some are visible (to some people), and some are not so visible. And yet under the surface, often un-noticed or noticed-but-ignored, these issues are massively hitting our lives, families and churches in a crisis situation.
