The Church of England has made a big advance in finally approving the notion that women can and should become Bishops. This has brought widespread rejoicing among its dwindling followers, who hope that this move into the real world may cause their numbers to expand. Meanwhile concessions have had to be made to the traditionalist wing, which include novelties such as male oversight and an ombudsman. This blog is unconvinced by arguments put forward to placate this bigoted group of theological zealots. Whatever they call themselves or think they are, I can tell them they are not Christian. Christianity is supposed to be all about love, compassion, tolerance and equality. The idea that men are superior and only males can perform certain rituals on behalf of God is to most preposterous and to many insulting.
