Female bishops in Church of Wales?
The governing body of the Church in Wales meets next Wednesday to discuss a bill to enable women to be ordained as bishops. Backed by the six diocesan bishops of the Church in Wales, the bill states that henceforth men and women may be ordained as Bishops, but that pastoral care and support will be provided for those who in conscience object to the ordination of women as Bishops. The Bill will be debated in committee before being voted on and may be amended.

The BBC adds, "If the bill is passed, England will be the sole UK region where the Anglican Church does not allow female bishops."
