[Anglican Mainstream] 11 Oct 2008--The Rt Rev John Broadhurst, the Bishop of Fulham, condemned the General Synod for going against the Bible and tradition by voting to introduce women bishops without making provision for opponents to the historic reform.

In a strongly-worded speech, he also declared the 80 million-strong Anglican Communion "finished" and likened the organisation of its once-a-decade meeting, the Lambeth Conference, to Stalin’s Russia.

His comments come amid continuing turmoil in the Church of England over the ordination of female bishops.
