From The BBC-
A first wave of around 600 Anglicans are officially leaving the Church of England in protest at the decision to ordain women as bishops.
They will be enrolled as candidates to join a new branch of the Catholic Church - the Ordinariate - which has been specially created for them.
They will attend Catholic Mass marking Ash Wednesday before spending Lent preparing to convert.
The Ordinariate is led by three former Anglican bishops.
Those leaving the Church of England are unhappy about developments in Anglicanism that they claim have led it away from traditions historically shared with Roman Catholics.
