The Church of England has been plunged into fresh turmoil by the “marriage” of two gay clergymen and threats of an exodus of priests opposed to the consecration of women bishops.
The Times has learnt that up to 500 Anglo-Catholic priests are ready to resign after failing to secure the concessions that they had sought over women bishops.
Church of England bishops have rejected plans for legal safeguards for those who had hoped for the introduction of extra-geographical dioceses as havens for traditionalists. Instead, plans to consecrate women bishops will be put to a vote at the General Synod in York next month, with the safeguards for opponents enshrined in a voluntary code.
“gay clergymen” a spiritual impossibility. These are not valid Christian priests.

Well we have seen how well this works. It seems that churchman are the first to go back on their most solumn word. You would be a fool to put any trust in this.
If the women “bishops” of The Episcopal Church aren’t an example of why women should never be appointed bishops ANYWHERE in the Communion, I don’t what IS!
It should read “I don’t know what IS!”
