[The Sydney Morning Herald] 8 Apr 2008--A retired male bishop or one from a neighbouring diocese could be invited to stand in for a female bishop, where conservative church members refuse to accept women ministries.

Proposals to go before Australian Anglican bishops next week suggest that alternative arrangements for episcopal care for dissident congregations should not be made law by the church, but would need to rely on "good will and Christian grace" to be implemented, said a discussion paper prepared by the Adelaide Archbishop, Jeffrey Driver.
