Thursday at General Synod

[EV News] February 10, 2006--The entire morning at General Synod today was take up with a further debate on women bishops. The Archbishop of Canterbury introduced the motion on behalf of the House of Bishops. He reminded Synod that the theological exploration on women bishops has not yet been completed. He then spoke of the need to make structural provision for opponents, which is what the Guildford Report proposes. The motion will mean that between February and July further work will be done on theological, ecumenical and canonical implications of the proposals. This reflects the fact that the proposals in the report are fairly new and need to be thought through.
