Before my statement I must Say I am not religious in any way :
I find it quite strange that the church can say no to women being bishops... Is this not a direct contradiction of every sex discrimination law in the land see below
What is sex discrimination?
Sex discrimination is discrimination on the ground of sex. All terms and conditions of employment are covered. It also includes applying a 'provision, criterion or practice' which, although it applies to men and women equally, puts women at a disadvantage compared to men and which the employer cannot show is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. Such an example could be a requirement to work full time.
Does it not show the church, supposedly the shining light of our society which upholds the values of fairness, tolerance etc, as just a bunch of hypocritical bigots who see them way above ordinary men and their laws ?

I can't believe how much coverage this story has got.
Let the idiots get on with it.

Surely if the religion you belong to says no to women bishops and you disagree with that stance then you are in the wrong religion for you?
