Having lost the vote first time round because of their mean-spirited attempts to exclude all who disagreed with them, they were then so desperate to have women bishops at any cost they didn't bother to read the small print.

In that respect, she would fit in well with most of Byzantine Barry's babes and the likes of Peggy the Pilate. What's the betting the Byzantine one has already been on the 'phone to offer her a job, as he gets bored of the former Golf Caddy and the Ass, and is planning their succession?<br /><br />The real blessing of Philip North's consecration (apart from the obvious fact that a gifted priest has become a bishop) is that an Anglican Primate, who is a solid supporter of women's ordination, who is consistent in his concern for justice for ALL minorities, has shown something of the breadth of Anglican generosity in recognising the need to accommodate a theological conviction he does not share. In other words, he practices what he preaches. Actions, he recognises, speak louder than words. He knows it's no good standing in a pulpit, flatly delivering the same old, worn-out, tedious platitudes of the 1970s about acceptance, compassion and 'the God of Jesus this and the God of Jesus that' if you turn around to those who are different and, effectively, tell them to 'F*** Off'!
