A Statement from Dr Peter Jensen, Archbishop of Sydney on the Opinion of the Appellate Tribunal concerning the consecration of women as Bishops

[Stand Firm] 28 Sep 2007--There are many people in all dioceses who, while they welcome women priests, will not agree that a woman should be consecrated as a Bishop. This is because the position of Bishop affects relationships with every parish and with every other Diocese.

I am also deeply concerned for those Anglicans in other dioceses who will have similar difficulties. It may be that the Australian church will have to look for some means of taking care of minority groups who are disenfranchised by this development. There is of course a model in the arrangements for disenfranchised minority groups within the Church of England.
