Waiting for the women bishops

From the BBC-

The debate on whether to appoint women bishops returns to the Church of England's General Synod this month.

The parishes of the pretty Kent commuter town of Sevenoaks will send four delegates to the Synod, and Anglicans in the town hold a wide range of views on the women bishops issue.

"Certainly I am very well aware that at the end of the road we will have women bishops," says the Reverend Angus Macleay, "But the real question is - what sort of a church will we have?"

Mr Macleay is rector of the ancient parish church of St Nicholas, a General Synod member, and a trustee of Reform, the main evangelical group opposed to women bishops.
