From The BBC-
Anglican women clergy are to rally in Westminster later at a march supporting plans to introduce women bishops.
The Church of England's ruling body, the General Synod, is to discuss legislation on women bishops this week.
It will consider a proposal that women bishops should accept intervention in their dioceses by male alternatives if called in by traditionalist parishes.
Progressive Anglicans fiercely oppose the plans, claiming it would make women second-class bishops.
They say it would force women to accept measures not imposed on their male counterparts.
It is accepted that the legislation should allow conservative parishes access to a male alternative, but traditionalists are fighting for two further concessions, and, it is becoming apparent, one in particular.
