[EV News] 1.07.08--The Times reports today that more than 1,300 clergy including 11 bishops from 'Forward in Faith' (Anglo Catholic group) have written to the archbishops of Canterbury and York to say that they will leave the Church of England if women are consecrated bishops.

In a letter to Rowan Williams and John Sentamu they warn that they will consider leaving the Church if two votes are passed to introduce female bishops at General Synod this weekend.

The letter’s signatories – which represent 10 per cent of practising clergy and hundreds of retired priests – will accept women bishops only if they have a legal right to separate havens within the Church.
