[The Church of England Newspaper] March 24, 2006--MPs backed women bishops this week in a controversial Bill pressing the Church to remove the bar on the consecration of women. Labour MP Andy Reed described as ‘spurious’ the theological arguments against women’s ministry. He said the fact that women can be archdeacons and deans but not bishops was “simply wrong”.
