Women Bishops: power and trust

Archbishop Justin Welby

The Church of England Synod in July will take up the unfinished agenda of the consecration of women to the Episcopate.

This is not just an English but also as an international issue. There are already woman bishops in the Anglican Communion. But the position of the Church of England in the Communion still means that the stance it takes defines for many (but not all) provinces what is acceptably Anglican.

The real issue

The issue in England is not whether there will be women bishops, but whether those with principled and theological issues on the matter will continue to have an equal and honoured place in the Church of England.
