The Calling features women ordained as priests in the Church of England and includes Parish Priests, the Deans of Salisbury Cathedral and Birmingham Cathedral and a Queen's Chaplain. Although women were first ordained as priests in the Church of England in 1994 and now make up a significant percentage of the clergy discrimination stills exists. For instance individual churches can vote on whether or not to employ a female priest and bishops can choose not to ordain a woman priest. This work is therefore vital for the exposure and promotion of women priests. The Calling was exhibited at Worcester and Wells Cathedrals and in Belonging Bath Art Fringe in 2015.
