FOLLOWING THE BISHOP’S MEETING WHAT NEXT?

Perhaps the right way for Anglo-Catholics to proceed who do not intend to go to the Ordinariate either now or in the foreseeable future is to fight tooth and nail to see that the motion to enable Women Bishop’s is resoundingly defeated at the July General Synod. It will then give a breathing space of five years before the matter can come back. Perhaps after a five year cooling of period it might be possible to arrive at an acceptable compromise with the caveat “a code of practice will not do” either now or then.

Despite all attempts to meet with some reasonable compromise, these have been opposed by WATCH every step of the way. And the way they treated the appointment of the Father Martin Warner as the Bishop of Chichester was, in my opinion, inexcusable.
