[VirtueOnline] 20 Jan 2009--The Bishop of the Diocese of Ft. Worth, The Rt. Rev. Jack L. Iker said there will be no women bishops in the new province - the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).

Speaking to participants at a three-day theological conference under the banner "Engaging Secularism and Islam, The Church's Global Challenge & Opportunity" at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul in Charleston, Iker said it is for this reason that he has given his support to the initiative of the Common Cause Partnership to form the new North American province."

Though we have our continuing differences over the issue of the ordination of women, Bishop Duncan and the CCP lead bishops have given assurances that there will be no women bishops in the new Province and that the historic, traditional theological position on this matter will be protected, respected and welcomed."
