Anglican Communion Appoints Director for Gender Justice

The global Anglican Communion is sharpening its focus on the issues of injustice and inequality for women, and has announced the hiring of a director for gender justice, a new position.

Mandy Marshall is the co-founder of Restored, a UK-based charity working to end violence against women around the world. In her new role she “will provide an Anglican Communion-wide lead on all matters of gender justice; and ensure a strong theological underpinning of the approach to gender justice within the Anglican Communion,” the Anglican Communion News Service announced.
