If the Telegraph is to be believed, I was on to
something last week. Things are
looking good for an amicable resolution to the women bishop’s issue in the
Church of England.
Not only can Forward in Faith people live with the
current proposal, but Women and the Church seems happy with it, too.
The
legislation has also been praised by Women and the Church, the most prominent
group currently campaigning for women bishops. Anne Stevens, a group vice
chairman, said: “It’s good to see draft legislation that is so clear and
concise, and we look forward to a day of great national rejoicing when women
are finally made bishops.”
We shall see.
Again, my attitude is that women bishops in the Church of England are
inevitable. So if a way to that
can be found that respects and protects traditionalists, then that is probably
the way to go.
Given the past attitudes of some women bishops
proponents, I doubted such a way was possible. I would be most happy to be proven mistaken in that regard.
