Root and Branch is community working for a safe, just and inclusive Roman Catholic Church.  It began in January 2020, before the pandemic, in response to journalist Joanna Moorhead’s challenge in The Tablet  that the Catholic Church needed ‘a synod that starts with women’ rather than tagging them on the end or ignoring them altogether. Very soon, as the name suggests, the community became aware that they needed to look at all areas of the Catholic Church in need of reform and, although it started with women, Root & Branch is not a single-issue movement: it offers FREE information and resources that embrace and challenge all areas in need of reform and healing.
