Women continue to be under represented in all aspects of Christian youth work and ministry - this is especially true in roles that can influence change and set future agendas. We welcome and support the Sophia Network and pray that it will flourish as it seeks to support, encourage, and empower women in youth work and ministry.
Yvonne Criddle and Peter Ball, National Youth Advisers, Church of England Education Division

The under representation of women in significant positions of influence in Christian youth ministry is wrong! This is a matter of justice that requires a response; Christian youth ministry should be a witness to the fairness of the Kingdom and not a demonstration of old forms of inequality. I sincerely hope that the Sophia Network will flourish and receive the welcome that it deserves; FYT wishes Sophia every blessing in its attempt to address this important issue and offer you our full support.
Dave Wiles, CEO - FYT

 

Connectedness, communication and community are integral to enabling women to discover their fullest potential. I believe that the Sophia Network will be a significant resource in enabling these things to happen within the youth work sector.
Jill Rowe, Church and Community Development Director - Oasis UK

A grant from Trust Greenbelt enabled us to create our first website and to get the Sophia Network off the ground. Trust Greenbelt has also supported our communication skills workshops - thank you very much!

I wholeheartedly endorse the vision and commitment of the Sophia Network to connect, encourage and empower women in youth work and ministry across the church in the UK and beyond.
Matt Summerfield, Executive Director, Urban Saints

For me the Sophia Network is long overdue, and I am thrilled to see it coming into being. Providing mentoring opportunities for leadership development, speaking and writing within the church in the UK will bring a vital contribution to the extension of God's Kingdom. I strongly endorse it.
Roy Crowne, Vice President, YFC

This is a fantastic and important initiative to resource, support and connect women in youth work and ministry, and I commend it to you wholeheartedly.
