[Religious Intelligence] 11 Nov 2008--Proponents of women bishops now face a threat as serious as any ever faced before --- from those opposed to females in mitres --- according to a leading campaigner for their ordination.

The claim comes from Christina Rees who heads WATCH, the Women and the Church movement, and is a prominent member of the General Synod.

Ms Rees voices the claim in a letter sent to networks of clergy and laity, a copy of which has been seen by The Church of England Newspaper.
