Rejected petition Woman Bishops
More details
We the undersigned believe that the rejection by the Church of England of woman bishops is wrong, and is an example of blatant gender discrimination.
We call upon the government to intervene in this matter using existing discrimination laws or passing new legislation where necessary. It is reprehensible that the Church of England should be permitted to behave in this way.
