The Reverend Rosalind Rutherford is a partner trustee representing WATCH (Women and the Church). WATCH has been a partner of Inclusive Church for twenty years. WATCH continues to campaign for full equality for women in the Church of England, recognising that a denomination that tries to be there for everyone in a parish should model equality and inclusion for all.
Rosalind has been campaigning and arguing for equality for women in the church for as long as she can remember. She was a member of MOW (Movement for the Ordination of Women) and then of WATCH. She was a member of General Synod for five years and experienced the importance of different inclusive groups working together.
Rosalind joined the IC board in December 2023 and was co-opted in January 2025 after her time as a WATCH trustee ended.
