HURD the WORD MARCH 2018 th At the time of writing this column the 100 anniversary of Votes for Women has recently passed. The right of women to vote in 1918 at the end of World War I was limited and took another ten years for the franchise to be widened. It was a great victory, and with a sense of understatement recognised the contribution and achievement of women during the struggle in the Great War. It wasn’t of course just about that. It was more importantly about the Tarn Farm Vets -Shap fundamental right of women to exist and accrue the benefits that were given and enjoyed by men in a patriarchal society that often treated women as second-class citizens. Even No Call-Out Fees today we see that the place of women in the UK and internationally still has a long way to go. Equal pay, responsibility at higher levels of business and government and other Competitive Drug Prices sections of society are woefully short for women in general.

There were various reasons for this. Among them, as we read in the Gospel of www.tarnfarmvets.co.uk Luke 1: 46-55 in Mary’s song (known as the Magnificat), are the purposes of God. Jesus expressed these purposes in his own teaching when quoting from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4: Woolbarn, Shap, Penrith, Cumbria CA10 3NB 16ff and later in what we call the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5- 7. The fundamental principle enshrined in that teaching was the love of God for all and the equality of all humanity irrespective of race, colour or creed etc, themes picked up by the apostle Paul in his letter to the Galatians 3: 28.
