(BBC) Anglicans to march in support of women bishops

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Kendall Harmon

Anglican women clergy are to rally in Westminster later at a march supporting plans to introduce women bishops.

The Church of England’s ruling body, the General Synod, is to discuss legislation on women bishops this week.

It will consider a proposal that women bishops should accept intervention in their dioceses by male alternatives if called in by traditionalist parishes.

Progressive Anglicans fiercely oppose the plans, claiming it would make women second-class bishops.

Read it all.

    General Synod will consider this amendment tomorrow. Pray that the Lord will guide the members in their debate and their voting.

    The ultimate goal is a female Archbishop of Canterbury.

    Your very astute observation just gave me a vision of the near future. Charles III being crowned in Westminster Abbey by a woman dressed up like a bishop. God preserve us.
