A woman at the top of the Church of England

Summary:

This article is about whether or not women are allowed to become bishops. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Right Reverend Justin Welby support this move. A fast majority of Church members are in favour of this change. The traditionalists are strongly against this change.
According to the Church this is the next logical step after the decision made 20 years ago that allowed women to become priests.

This week the Church of England General Synod is going to vote if women should be allowed to become bishops. When the Church votes against this amendment the proposal will be dismissed for the next seven years.
Already one third of all clergy are women. So this seems the most logical step. The difficulty of this voting is that in every House a majority of two-third needs to vote in favour to get this measure legislated. If approved in 2014 the first women bishop could be a fact.

Opinion:
I believe that men and women should be treated equally in every position when both are equally fit for the job. In many professions the opposite sex is accepted, look at the army, the police and fire fighters in these professions women are seen as equal.

After 20 years where women are allowed to be priests I believe it is a logical step forward that women can also be bishops. I cannot see why a man is better at this job than a woman. And where did God say: “This profession is only for men!!” So I hope to hear the news soon that The Church of England and all his Houses voted in favour of this amendment! This would be a huge step forward in a very conservative environment.
