Bishops offer lead to Catholics: Wait and be charitable

[Church Times] 15 Aug 2008--Traditionalist Anglo-Catholic bishops have reached out to a wing of the Church of England that they describe as shocked, bewildered, and disappointed after the General Synod’s vote in July for a statutory code of practice for objectors to the ordination of women as bishops. They are advising like-minded clergy that all may not yet be lost.

But the Manchester Group and the House of Bishops must be “in no doubt about the seriousness of the situation”, insist the Bishops of Bever­ley, Blackburn, Burnley, Chi­chester, Ebbsfleet, Edmonton, Ful­ham, Gib­ral­tar in Europe, Horsham, Ply­mouth, Pontefract, Richborough, and Whitby, and the Assistant Bishop of Newcastle.
