In yesterday's entry I referred to the open letter to The Independent signed by over a thousand clergy from the Church of England supposedly giving the biblical case for women bishops when there is none. The letter has attracted some well deserved criticism here, here and here to quote a few examples. The lead signature was that of the Rev'd Dr Miranda Threlfall-Holmes which may account for the tone but the fact that existing bishops could add their names to such a statement of beliefs is a disgrace since the list should provide an aide memoire of those not suitable for consideration as a bishop of the church.
