Waking The Women, Faith, Menopause, and the Meaning of Midlife - Jayne Manfredi - The God Cast.

The God Cast with Fr Alex Frost and Guests.

Alex is the vicar of St Matthews church in Burnley you can order his book via this link https://brownsbfs.co.uk/Product/Frost... and Follow him on X @alexdjfrost Women over the age of 40 are by far the biggest and the most active demographic in the Church of England. But while a huge proportion of any given congregation will likely have experienced menopause, it still remains largely unacknowledged, unspoken and unaddressed. It is almost entirely taboo as a topic of conversation in churches. Writing with refreshing frankness, popular blogger and broadcaster Jayne Manfredi uses biblical reflection, prophetic storytelling and prayer to journey with those experiencing “the dreaded m word”. Facing the menopause head-on, and by turns hilarious and moving, Waking the Women offers a challenge to destigmatize women’s experiences by opening up the conversation around midlife and ageing in the church.
