The Archbishop of York moved:10. ‘That this Synod welcome and affirm the view of the majority of the House of Bishops that admitting women to the episcopate in the Church of England is consonant with the faith of the Church as the Church of England has received it and would be a proper development in proclaiming afresh in this generation the grace and truth of Christ.’The motion was carried after a division by houses:
Bishops For 31; Against 9
Clergy For 134; Against 42
Laity For 123; Against 68.
If this is indeed "consonant with the faith of the Church as the Church of England has received it" then the Church of England is either correctly identified by the Roman Catholic Church as a cult, or it has been hijacked by people bent on changing it into a cult.
Obviously God doesn't get a vote at General Synod; He's automatically assumed to go along with the majority(!)
Second verse of "the Mush-Merging song"
And so the Church of Blighty now has given the green light
to allow a lady priest to claim a bishop's oversight.
The fact that God don't want it means that "oversight" is right,
and the rot goes marching on...
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Jefferts Schori ain't a ruler.
And now ECUSA's rot
has become poor Blighty's lot
and we ain't in this cult no more!
