Church of England Leaders Fight For Women Bishops

Members of the Church of England have expressed their dissatisfaction with their current stance with female bishops.

The General Synod, an organisation who consider and approve legislation affecting the entire Church of England rejected the proposal to admit women into the episcopate. The House of Bishops who met in Lambeth this week at the official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury discussed the decision made at last month’s General Synod.

In a bid to reach an alternative verdict, the House of Bishops are already drawing up new proposals ahead of the next General Synod meeting next July.
