SUMMARY:EXTRA TICKETS RELEASED: Launch Event – ‘Women Behind Bars’: Life in Newcastle Prison (1828-1925)
DESCRIPTION:Please note a small change to the advertised programme. If you are not attending Evensong\, please join us from 6:30pm; the event will now begin at 6:45pm.\n—\nJoin us ahead of International Women’s Day (8 March) for the launch of a powerful new exhibition\, running from 5 March to 27 April\, which uncovers the hidden histories of women in Newcastle Prison. \nDrawing on Newcastle Prison: A History 1828–1925 (Tyne Bridge Publishing\, 2025)\, the exhibition brings to light the stories of young girls\, women affected by poverty and addiction\, and suffragettes who challenged the boundaries of their time. Together\, these voices reveal the realities of crime\, punishment and resilience in a society shaped by inequality. \nThe exhibition incorporates the ‘Story Chair’\, developed for Newcastle Cathedral in 2023 through a unique collaboration involving women with lived experience of the criminal justice system\, bringing together Changing Lives\, Northumbria University and the National Trust\, with additional support from the North East Probation Service and the British Academy. \nLaunch event programme: \n\nShort talks from all four authors of Newcastle Prison: A History 1828–1925 – Patrick Low\, Shane McCorristine\, Helen Rutherford and Clare Sandford-Couch – sharing insights into the research and stories behind the book. There will be time for questions\, with copies of the book available to purchase and the opportunity to view the exhibition.\n\n\nAn update from Changing Lives on the legacy of the Story Chair\, which has since toured several further venues\, carrying profound meaning for the women who contributed to its creation and ensuring authentic representation.\n\n\nPoetry\, folk tunes and ballads from Harry Gallagher\, Miggins Fiddle (Marina Dodgson & Maurice Condie) and Bridget Gallagher. Marina and Maurice lead the weekly folk tunes session at Café 16 in the Cathedral Refectory.\n\nThis event is ticketed on a ‘Give As You Feel’ basis\, with a suggested donation of £5. Booking is encouraged to help us plan seating. Refreshments will be available from the Oswin Project\, the charity that operates Café 16 in the Cathedral Refectory\, which gives second chances to people with criminal records. \nAfter the launch event\, the exhibition will be open free of charge during standard Cathedral opening hours – no booking required. We look forward to welcoming you!

SUMMARY:‘Theology & Gender Justice’ – Afternoon talk by Ruth Harley
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Diocese of Newcastle’s Continuing Ministerial Formation (CMF) group\, this monthly seminar series meets on the first Thursday of each month to explore the fascinating and often unexpected intersections between theology and other disciplines. \nJoin Ruth Harley on Thursday 5 March for ‘Theology & Gender Justice’. Doors open at 3:30pm for a 4pm start. \n“In Christ there is no male and female”\, yet in the Church\, which is the body of Christ\, women have frequently encountered discrimination and\, even with the appointment of a female Archbishop of Canterbury\, sexism and misogyny persist. So what theological resources can we draw on to work for gender justice within and beyond the Church? And how can scripture\, theology and liturgy enable the Church to speak prophetically into significant contemporary issues of sexism and misogyny: domestic abuse\, FGM\, violent pornography\, the gender pay gap\, and more? \nRuth Harley\, parish priest and feminist theologian\, will draw on her PhD research into the vocational narratives of older women to consider how our understanding of the vocation of the Church as the body of Christ can (and should!) be expanded and enriched by taking the experience of women in the Church seriously as a site of theological meaning-making. Gender justice is not a ‘women’s issue’\, it’s an essential issue for the whole Church\, so come and grapple together with how theology can be a force for good in the struggle against patriarchy. \nPre-booking is not essential\, but it would be greatly appreciated to help us plan refreshments and seating. \nPlease note: This event will take place in a space at Newcastle Cathedral that is accessible by lift. Full details on how to access the space will be provided in advance.
