From Swaziland-News of the passing of a vote to recognise women bishops in the Church of England, which is Anglican, has been received with joy by the local church.
Chairman of the Council of Swaziland Churches Bishop Absalom Mnisi of the Lutheran Church said Swaziland had already paved the way with the recognition of woman Anglican Bishop Ellenah Wamukoya.
He noted that Swaziland had already taken the lead in recognising female preachers in the church and that several denominations had women pastors and that it had been the Anglican church that had issues on this subject but that had passed.
The Anglican church itself had other women preachers before the appointment of Wamukoya.
