What happens when your conscience leads you in a different direction from your faith?In this episode of Then What Happened?, former Church of England vicar Sandra Sykes reflects on a lifetime of faith, challenging authority, and standing by her beliefs—even when it came at a personal cost.Known by some as "The Rebel Vicar", Sandra speaks candidly about sexism, misogyny and prejudice within the Church, blessing lgbt+ couples before it was officially permitted, and why she believes "the Church is fighting for survival."She also shares the deeply personal story of discovering her faith later in life after serious illness, becoming one of the relatively few female vicars of her generation, balancing her conscience with church doctrine, and the circumstances that ultimately led to her being asked to leave ministry.This is an honest conversation about faith, equality, inclusion, leadership, conscience, the future of Christianity, and what happens when doing what you believe is right comes with consequences.Then What Happened? is a series of honest conversations with people whose lives took an unexpected turn—and what came next.If you enjoy thoughtful interviews, inspiring life stories and conversations about reinvention, second chances and social change, please consider liking the video, subscribing to the channel and sharing it with others.The views and opinions expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of KPB Presents.
