No Taxation Without Representation

[The Churchman] October 20, 2005--A day before it was dissolved, the seventh General Synod of the Church of England gave its approval to a process which would initiate legislation making it possible for the church to consecrate women as bishops. Given that even stalwart opponents of women in holy orders have been predicting this move since the ordination of women presbyters (priests) was approved back in 1992, and that some in "Forward in Faith" have even encouraged it, we should not be surprised by the result. The only unexpected feature was the abstention of Bishop Wright of Durham.
