The Anglican church is coming over all faint and having to lie down in a darkened room – or at least large parts of it are – after the US Episcopal Church (part of the international Anglican communion, as they call it) elected a woman, Katharine Jefferts Schori, Bishop of Nevada, as presiding bishop. What’s even worse, a liberal woman.
Sounds like a very necessary step forward to me, since:
Only three churches within the 38 provinces of the Anglican communion currently ordain women bishops: the US, Canada and New Zealand, though a further 11, including Ireland and Scotland have amended their canons to enable them to do so.
