Women bishops in Wales

[ahinton]

Another nail in Cameron's coffin if the Tory Party ever decides to punish him for 'gay marriage' AND women Bishops.

Do you think that it might ever punish him for gay women bishops?

Pity the reshuffle has dominated the publicity.

Pity the reshuffle has dominated the publicity.

Has it really, though?

Wouldn't it be marvellous if a woman minister started the debate about disestablishing the Church of England :wishfulthinkingwotsit:

Yes, although it wouldn't be so bad if a minister of either gender did so!

That said, what chance do you think there might be of a change in the relationship between the Parliament of an independent Scotland and the Church of Scotland following independence?

Well their Eminences etc have finally done it - voted in favour of women Bishops in England!

Mind, it did take twenty years ...

Let's hope it marks a radical transformation of the Anglican church, including disestablishment, of course.

Hmm.

I have to say, the message is wrong, whoever is putting it across.

We once welcomed women into the armed forces; I now have my doubts - it just doubles the number of people recruited or offering themselves up for slaughter/slaughtering. Wasn't it Germaine Greer said, "Feminism isn't about wanting women fighting men's wars, or fighting their way up male hierarchies to be ceo's"?

Goodness me, amateur51, the radical transformation seems to be already well-established (excuse the foul language) and I didn't know there were now Catholic or Orthodox bishops in the C of E ... my, all this ecumenism is certainly moving apace!

Don't we learn so much on this forum ...?

I hope so, too.

One of the oft-put arguments for women priests was that of a new, more compassionate and less narrowminded Christian doctrine being put forward. Is there any evidence of this? I have to say I have not seen any as yet.

Neither have I ... maybe the problem here is that the C of E doesn't need just women bishops but gay women bishops, then everything will be just fine?

No evidence as yet, as you say. Unlikely to materialise, either....

Oh dear, low even by your standards scotty.

What?!!

You are that unenthusiastic about the idea, then, scotty ... ?

Remarkable.
