Catholic Herald–Traditionalist Anglican bishops admit they are divided over women bishops

A group of traditionalist Anglican bishops has admitted that Anglo-Catholic clergy are sharply divided over how to respond to the ordination of women bishops.

Fifteen bishops belonging to Forward in Faith, the largest Anglo-Catholic group in the Church of England, said members faced a range of options in response to the mid-July vote by the General Synod, to create women bishops by 2014 without meeting the demands of objectors.

They admitted that the Anglo-Catholic faction of the Church of England could not decide collectively what course of action to take.

    Another poor title. They’re NOT divided over women bishops, they’re divided over how best to respond to the likelihood of women bishops in the C of E.

    that was my immediate thought as soon as I read the title. Poorly stated.
