Women bishops: Church of England synod vote - live coverage

Ruth Gledhill @ RuthieGledhill 'In G_d's name, say Yes.'  My stories and comment @ thetimes   # synod   # womenbishops  today. thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/pro…   # fb Luís Magalhães ‎11.38am GMT Lorna Ashworth of Chichester asks what will happen to the conservative evangelicals if the measure passes. People of her theological conviction are being told they are not welcome, she says. 11.36am GMT The Bishop of Salisbury, Nick Holtam, says he would have voted no in 1992 when the synod backed female priests. He would have felt that a clear decision was needed – "and I would have been wrong". Female priests have been a success, he says. Female bishops are wanted by the church at large. We must vote yes even if we feel there are doubts and the legislation is "hedged around", he says. "The compromise is a good one for all of us." http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/nov/20/women-bishops-church-engl
