Church Society's campaign group, Together4ward, have released a statement in response to GS1886 - the women bishops working group’s document outlining the process to make women bishops:
'We Promise to be Faithful to the CofE. Will the CofE be Faithful to its Promises to us?
The Together4ward team were excited last Saturday to see Church Society elect a new Council. At the new council’s first meeting on Tuesday, appreciation was expressed by all for the Church of England, and our firm commitment to her.
We are in the process of planning a more detailed contribution to the discussion around GS1886, the women bishops working group’s document outlining the process to make women bishops while providing proper provision for conscience. We hope that contribution, along with some detailed suggestions for Dioceses to consider, can be made available early July.
Until then, we would like to offer the following comment:
As evangelical ministers, we love the people in our parishes, our bishops, and the wider church. At our ordinations, we made promises to serve them by framing our lives around Christ and the scriptures. In return our congregations, bishops, and the wider church have placed their trust in us.
