London Telegraph on Women Bishops in England


The London Daily Telegraph reports on the recent vote and controversy regarding women bishops in the Church of England. It reads in part:

"Dr Rowan Williams took to the floor of the debating chamber and said he had "not very comfortably" come to the conclusion that provisions must be made for traditionalists.

He said: "I am deeply unhappy with schemes or solutions which involve the structural humiliation of women, who are elected to the episcopate and end up haggling about the limits to their authority."
