From The International Herald Tribune-
The Church of England opened its national assembly Monday to discuss draft legislation on allowing the consecration of women as bishops and other church matters.
The General Synod will be addressed Monday by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, a Roman Catholic who is expected to discuss relations between Anglicans and Roman Catholics. It will be his first address to the assembly.
The specifics of the proposal to allow women bishops are to be discussed Wednesday morning. Church officials agreed in principle last year to consecrate women bishops for the first time, but details of how it would work have yet to be finalized.
