[Anglican Mainstream] 28 Mar 2008--A vote on the ordination of female bishops in Wales will take place next week.

The move was proposed by the six diocesan bishops of the Church in Wales, and the 140 members of the church’s Governing Body will now decide whether or not to pass the Bill.

If the Bill is passed, it will come into effect immediately, making England the only part of the UK whose Anglican Church does not allow women priests to be ordained as bishops.
