Church of England Endorses Women as Bishops  Post to Twitter
Via the New York Times:   After a debate late into the night in
the city of York, the General Synod of the Church of England, an
assembly that holds ultimate authority on church doctrine in
Britain, voted by comfortable margins within each of the synod’s
three houses : bishops, clergy and laity : to approve the
consecration of women as bishops in the face of bitter
opposition from traditionalists.  Women in the Episcopal Church
in the US are allowed to become bishops. Why do some object so
vigorously to women bishops? This seems to stem from a sort of
Anglican Church version of originalism:  Opponents of female
bishops argue that Jesus, in choosing men for his 12 disciples,
intended that men alone should have the responsibility of
ministering to his followers.  -Caitlin Borgmann   0 Responses
