British traditionalists to condemn intolerance

http://www.religiousintelligence.co.uk/news/?NewsID=2889

[Religious Intelligence] 27 Sep 2008--Traditionalist Anglicans are poised formally to condemn the "intolerance... of many members" of the General Synod which they claim was displayed in the debate on women bishops when the Church of England's governing body met at York in July.

The move, unprecedented in its tone, will be proposed at the annual assembly of Forward in Faith, the umbrella Anglo-Catholic body, in London next month.

It will be made by the council, the movement's "cabinet", which is headed by the Bishop of Fulham, the Rt Rev John Broadhurst (pictured).

The council will also invite delegates to back an equally strident demand for "a guaranteed ecclesial structure" within a Church of England with women bishops "in which we can pass the Faith on to our children and grandchildren".
