Introduce women bishops, Synod told
One of the Church of England's leading bishops has called for the introduction of women bishops, despite divisions in the Anglican communion over the issue. The Bishop of Manchester, the Right Reverend Nigel McCulloch, said that it would be "very sad" if the Church were "simply to kick the whole thing into touch" because of the controversy.
IMO: OR JAIL THE CLERGY FOR SEX DISCRIMATION. Whilst "the law is an ass" and I do not doubt that many will wish may try to avoid the smear of sex discrimination, the (rather opaque) 'glass ceiling' that already exists in the Anglican church, is perilously close to a criminal illegality in the UK. Responsible Anglican churchmen should be jailed for sex discrimination. On the faggots, I would say there is most certainly still no evidence, even after so long, that their personal behaviour fits traditional church guidelines. They can go to Metropolitan Community Church, AFAIK, and the Anglican church has a LOT more to worry about than hurt feelings - and nasty politics. I speak as a sympathiser, make no mistake, but let us see what a few women bishops can do to the situation.
