Women bishops back on agenda as Archbishop of Canterbury makes first Synod address

From The Telegraph-

The Most Rev Justin Welby, who will give his first presidential address to the Church of England's national assembly as the Archbishop of Canterbury this evening, has been outspoken in his support of women bishops.

Earlier this year he said he was "certain" a woman would follow in his footsteps as leader of worldwide Anglican communion.

His address comes as General Synod members – whose vote was pivotal in the shock defeat of the women bishops measure last November – are attempting to restart talks over women bishops.
Members are to meet in private before debating new proposals on Monday, which could mean final approval for female bishops by 2015.

But traditionalist Anglicans say new proposals offer fewer concessions than legislation they neglected last year.
