Amongst all that has been going on in the World Wide Anglican Communion, the Church of England has been more seriously debating the issue of women bishops. They had threats for people to leave and people to stay. I must say that I am happy that the C of E has more closer to full inclusion of all people in all levels of ministry by "affirm(ing) that the wish of its majority is for women to be admitted to the episcopate" Congrats, C of E! I am sure you will be a richer and fuller church with this new voice in your episcopate.
The above picture is of the 11 women bishops at the 1998 Lambeth Conference. I am very proud to say that my Diocesan Bishop - Geralyn Wolf - was one of those 11. She is in the back row second from the right.
