From Ecumenical News-The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has praised the elevation of women to the priesthood in the Church of England 20 years ago.
"How did we not see that women and men are equally icons, witnesses, vessels of Christ for the world?" Welby asked Sunday.
"Twenty years, out of about 450. That's less than 5 percent in the story of the Church of England, so far, a story in which we remain committed to reimagining ministry," he said.
Welby who is the spiritual head of the Church of England and the most senior bishop in the 85-million strong Anglican communion, delivered a sermon at St Paul's Cathedral in London at a service to mark the 20th anniversary of women priests.
