The Rt Rev Graham James, giving his presidential address, said: “The failure of the Anglican Covenant to commend itself in the Church of England and the continued uncertainty over women bishops means that things aren’t as clear at this stage as I would have expected when giving the equivalent address three years ago. Add to the mix a new but as yet unknown Archbishop of Canterbury and there is bound to be some unsettlement around.
“However, I do hope and pray that the legislation now before us at General Synod next month commands a two thirds majority in each House so that women may soon become bishops in the Church of England.”
Well, at least he put his chips on the table and is honest about his intentions.
It amuses me when people say ‘I don’t want it!’ but keep themselves in contention anyway…. ; )
