No women bishops before 2008: Anglicans

[The Age] 25 Oct 2007--The Anglican Church of Australia has vowed to work together on the controversial issue of female bishops.

Last month, the church's highest court - the Appellate Tribunal - found no legal obstacle to the consecration of women as bishops.

The decision was a hot topic at a meeting of the Anglican Church of Australia's General Synod - a triennial decision-making meeting of 247 clergy and lay people - in Canberra this week.

The group resolved to move forward on the issue of women bishops together.
