[Wales Online] 18 Sep 2008--The Church in Wales has scrapped the position of a bishop for people who cannot accept the ordination of women.

The Rev David Thomas served as Provincial Assistant Bishop from 1996 – when women were admitted to the priesthood – until his retirement in June.

The bishops yesterday said there would be no replacement bishop but pledged to provide pastoral care to those who remain opposed to women priests.
