This is a very grown up question for me - normally found on the pg craving type threads, but everytime I hear the news about people leaving the CoE I've been wondering.
Is it middle aged men getting their knickers in a twist over having women bishops al la vicar of dibley first episode or does it say in the bible somewhere that women can only attend church, not run them?
Why aren't the women in the church making more of a stink over it?
And forgive me as I'm a complete heathen but those CoE Bishops that are converting to Catholics - is this not a completely different set of values - how can they live with them just for the sake of a bit of gender equality?
Sorry if these all sound like daft questions but the news seems to be assuming a level of relgious understanding that I don't have (my main source of knowledge being the vicar of dibley and father ted!)
