A Church of England archdeacon has called for “anti-whiteness” and for people to “smash the patriarchy”, in the latest divisive hard-Left intervention emanating from the national church. The Telegraph has the story.
A Church of England archdeacon [a senior cleric akin to a regional manager in a diocese] has called for “anti-whiteness”, in comments which have been criticised as divisive.
The Ven Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, Archdeacon of Liverpool, also called for people to “smash the patriarchy” but insisted her comments were “not anti-white, or anti-men”.
Her statement prompted an angry reaction, with one person asking if it would be “safe to attend church” if Dr. Threlfall-Holmes “holds racial prejudice against white people”.
Just weeks ago, the church announced it would be hiring a “deconstructing whiteness” officer as part of a new 11-person “racial justice unit” being set up by the Diocese of Birmingham.
Senior clergy have also faced criticism for calling for the church’s £100 million slavery reparations fund to be increased to £1 billion.
Dr. Threlfall-Holmes wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “I went to a conference on whiteness last autumn. It was very good, very interesting and made me realise: whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender.
“So yes, let’s have anti-whiteness, and let’s smash the patriarchy. That’s not anti-white, or anti-men, it’s anti-oppression.”
In response, users of X suggested that if the Cambridge-educated priest wanted “anti-whiteness” then she should “lead by example and resign”.
Some described her comments as “racist” and one asked: “Why do you seek to divide when your job description is literally to bring people together?”
Her words were criticised as “divisive” and “nonsensical” and one user said it would appear she had “given up Christianity to join a new and sinister cult”.

And I have no doubt that the Ven Miranda Threlfall-Holmes would once again don a facemask at the first opportunity and denounce the non-jabbed.
She’s best off getting the sack, as her attitude is totally at odds with the role she’s in. But given the state of the CoE nowadays probably nothing like that will happen. What an idiot and a traitor. She should be ashamed. I’m sick to death of all of this ”anti-whiteness” BS all over the shop. My Twitter feed is full of videos of coloured kids ( and adults ) kicking the sh*t out of a single white kid/adult victim. Whether it’s the UK, U.S, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, just all over people are uploading footage of gangs of black/brown people lynching a lone white person.
A lot of it comes via Tik Tok, which is popular with kids ( I’d happily see it banned ) and inevitably means that kids get desensitized to this level of violence and instead of whipping out their phone to call the police when something kicks off they just want to film the crime as it unfolds because it’s all about the clicks nowadays and being the first to upload the content. This dumbass woman and her ilk are just adding to the worsening hostilities that white people ( many times school kids ) are facing. And it’s *always* packs of these maniacs that set upon one person, with fatal outcomes sometimes. It’s being normalized, this attitude, it’s obscene and it reflects a sick society.
It’s like an episode of Black Mirror. Imagine you’re being pulverized by a pack of maniac yobs for no reason and the last thing you’re aware of before you lose consciousness is being surrounded by observers with their phones raised, filming it all dispassionately, like total psychos, nobody coming to your aid. But if people aren’t filming it they’re just walking on by, pretending they didn’t see anything so that they don’t have to do anything.
This is what Konstantin Kisin has to say in response to this daft, divisive mare. I agree;
”This is actually true. Whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender in that both are linguistic tricks used to invent things that only exist in the minds of overeducated fools.”

Top post Mogs.
I really ought to have a smaller chest by now…
How she must hate her maker for making her white and I think female (who can tell these days). I predict the Cof E will either meld into the Islamic faith or will be extinct within 5 years.
The C of E should be dis-established NOW. It is un-Christian and has an anti-Christ as its Archbishop. It has passed the point of being irrelevant and become dangerous. There is no need for the monarch to be the head of a church, especially when the present king wants to be ‘defender of ALL faiths’ – a betrayal in itself.
I used to attend CofE services a long time ago, but I wouldn’t go near one now. You don’t know if you’re going to be confronted by a raving lunatic such as this archdeacon who has allowed herself to be indoctrinated by wicked, racist wokeness. There are serious flaws in her character and that of others who are so very easily influenced by nonsensical ideology.
We need a new government department whose responsibility is to support and preserve our Christian heritage (it should be absolutely against the law to turn a church into a mosque, for example, and no more mosques should be built). It could be ecumenical in nature, embracing all Christian denominations for consultations and grants to prosper.
This same department could be responsible for supporting and preserving our cultural heritage, preventing the woke capture of institutions such as the National Trust, and art galleries that claim Constable’s country landscapes ‘inspire dark nationalist feelings’ ffs.
Something must be done before today’s children grow up with these horrible people’s crazy ideologies polluting their brains with self-hatred and negativity.
Even her name makes her sound like she escaped from Peter Simple’s Way of the World column in about 1980. A colleague of Dr Spacely-Trellis.
I don’t know what that is but here’s a ‘lady’ who looks like she’s escaped from somewhere and is due her meds. The guy needs someone to hand him a can of pepper spray I think. That should do the trick;

Her body, her choice. She can keep her body, a double bagger if I ever saw one. Pepper spray and a club.
WTF’s a “double bagger” when it’s at home??
Your terminology makes me laugh!
Before a gentleman might indulge in any horizontal Olympics with a growler (ugly woman) he considers it reasonable to cover her visage with a paper bag or two if she is a real sinner (ugly).
A bit of blokey locker room banter there Mogs
I always took double bagger to mean that you put a bag on your own head, in case hers falls off.
That.
You boys…
I think that’s a colloquialism that didn’t make it as far as the North East, but we must’ve had equivalents, such as “minger”
There’s me thinking A Double Bagging was to Wear two of Durex,s finest due to the unloveliness of the Rhino Pig munter being faced
That too. With one each though you can pretend it is a kinky game. BFGs have feelings too. BFG = Big Fat Gopper.
Let’s have anti-whiteness….That’s not anti-white…
And has a PhD.
Draw your own conclusions.
The usual test is to invert the language and see how that works. Let’s have anti-blackness (not anti-black of course).
No, I don’t think she would still be in her job if she wrote that.
Ven? Does it stand for venereal?
For this person to claim that she is a follower of Jesus Christ is grotesquely insulting to all those who respect and follow the Christian faith. Quite simply she is pushing a message that cannot sit within the realms of Christianity – it is divisive, hateful, belligerent and corrupt.
This woman does not belong in any church of Jesus Christ and the correct remedy if this was the Roman Catholic Church would be excommunication. Jelly Welby will probably promote her.
The ignorance and hypocrisy on display is mind-boggling. I am sure she makes a comfortable living from the C of E and most of that funded by parishioners. Perhaps she could call a parishioners meeting to assess the opinions of her paymasters? Plod would of course be required to attend just in case she was dealt some biblical justice such as a flogging or heaven forbid crucifixion.
If there are any religious people on DS can you please tell me where in the bible is this “Social Justice”?
It’s what’s supposed to exist among Christians in a hostile world as these are all brothers and sisters and loving each other. I don’t quite understand how ‘Dr.’ Threlfall-Holmes¹ fits in this picture, though, who seems to be a test tube experiment gone awry and driven by near insane hatred for other people.
¹ Is this a name of something which occured after a Scrabble board had been kicked over?
Jesus was keen on individuals treating the poor with compassion and charity.
As far as I am aware, he didn’t say anything about social policy.
Yes charity is fine. But what we have now is leftist governments imposing their social justice on us all. With these church people spouting of about all manner of things out of their remit. The Pope was recently speaking about “climate change”, but what mandate from the Lord does he have to pontificate on matters of science? —-I suggest none.
Perhaps His Holiness should have a word with the big fella upstairs about turning it all down a degree or two. God is omnipotent, is He not..? Maybe God thinks its all a sham too..?
His “Holiness” is fully signed up to the WEF agenda. He is batting for Satan.
Yes, the sheer arrogance of some humans, boasting that God needs them to “manage” creation for Him.
Well he did say it was going to be tricky for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
But then later on it seemed all you need to do is believe in Jesus and you’re in.
It’s all a bit unclear really
Both Jesus and John the Baptist made it clear that Repentance for Sin was the most important thing Christians could do for salvation.
John the Baptist said, “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand”.
Jesus later repeated that, adding, “Lest ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Not only repent, but stop sinning, as Jesus said to the adulterous woman:
“Go, and sin no more.”
And Jesus never told his disciples to worship him, and never claimed to be Almighty God. The Trinity is a Lie invented to elevate Jesus so that the Impostor “goddess” Mary could claim to be above Almighty God. And very successful her cult has become, with people crawling on their knees before her statues all over the world.
One Pope even declared her “Co-Redemptrix” with Christ, making up stuff as he went along.
Adding a protestant angle to that: Salvation is ultimatively by faith and not through acts alone.
Nowhere. The term “social justice” was invented by Jesuits, Luigi Taparelli being one of the first as an advisor to the Vatican. Jesuits have their own agenda.
wink
Anti-whiteness is not anti-white … aha … methinks this archdeacon is neither arch nor deacon either, just someone on a public payroll ranting about political goals of the American left.
Another Woman in a position of power and influence banging on about the ‘patriarchy’. About as much credibility as it is when black female MP’s stand in the House of Commons and berate us about systemic racism and sexism. Like, if its true, how did you get to be standing there..?
This is hate speech. As a White man, I find her comments offensive, hurtful and it’s affected my mental health. How can I get her sacked and the police to investigate this.
Somebody needs to read her comments in Scotland after April 1st.
There’s doubtlessly a clause somewhere in this act which explicitly excludes so-called white people from being victims of hate speech and which demands that claiming white male people could be such victims must prosecuted as extreme ultra farthing rightest genocidal terrier hate conspiracy.
Hope I didn’t miss any applicable terms.
A suggestion to complete the job …..
a complete ethnic cleansing of white Brits from the CofE.
Starting with that moronic woman and her role model wokey Welby. They could skip off to Wokeland, swap sexes and do blackface with each other.
Agreed. The fact that this woman feels at liberty to make statements like this tells us all we need to know. What a complete mess.I consider the CofE is now, as it stands, ‘institutionally’ apostate. The direction of travel that has led to this has been in place for a very long time.
