From The BBC-A Blackburn vicar has held a 10-minute silence in protest over the upcoming installation of the Bishop of Burnley.
Changes have been made to the Reverend Philip North's ceremony because of his opposition to female bishops.
The Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu said the arrangements were made "for prayer, not politics".
The Reverend Anne Morris, who serves the same diocese as Rev North, replaced her sermon with the protest over the changes, at St Oswalds in Knuzden.
Dr Sentamu, has said he will not take part in the "laying on of hands" - a traditional part of the ordination service - during the Rev North's ceremony at York Minster in February.
On Friday, he said his decision was not due to a "theology of taint".
