Sunday, 30 January 2011

The news that a cross party group of MPs, including Frank Field and Simon Hughes, is pushing for Parliament to force the Church of England to consecrate women bishops could well turn out to be a boost for traditionalists on the General Synod.

Mr Field has tabled an Early Day Motion to remove the Church of England's exemption from equality laws, which would force Synod to pass the women bishops' legislation. EDMs rarely get debated and there is anyway a glaring inconsistency in Mr Field's motion. If Parliament takes away the Church of England's exemption, why not that of the Roman Catholic Church?  the rest
