My first thought would be to tell the knuckle-draggers to drop head. Come to think of it, that would be my final thought on the debate as well. Some in the church argue that it's not the right time to add women. Uh huh, that's right. Shoulda been done centuries ago.
Divisions appeared to widen yesterday between senior Church of England clergy on opposite sides of the debate over the consecration of women bishops, as the issue dominated the agenda at the General Synod.
The Synod has already agreed to the principle of women bishops, but has yet to decide what should be done to appease the 1,300 clergy who are threatening to leave the Anglican Church over the issue. A debate on what special arrangements might be made for objectors to the idea has been tabled for tomorrow, but a final decision was looking unlikely last night as bishops called for further research to be carried out.
