ANGLICANS ALLOW WOMEN BISHOPS
13.7.2005. 07:50:24The General Synod of the Church of England has voted to remove the legal obstacles preventing the ordination of women as bishops.
The move has riled conservative Anglican leaders, some of whom have threatened to quit the church.
Traditionalists have argued that Jesus Christ chose only men as his Apostles – the forerunners of the modern bishops.
The most senior house of the synod, the House of Bishops, voted 41 for and only six against the motion that was introduced by the Bishop of Southwark, the Right Reverend Tom Butler.
Clergy members backed the resolution, 167 to 46.
Sorry, but I think that any hope there may have been for reuniting the Anglican Church with the Roman Catholic Church has definitely evaporated. Instead of reuniting, I think that the Anglican union will continue to wither away. Read the entire story by following the link below.
