"The Church which has been our home"


INTERESTING to see the signatures of the Rev Michael Collis (Ba A 46-52), the Rev Ian Colson (Chaplain 09- ), Canon Charles Davidson (Col A 39-47), the Rev Peter Homewood (La B 70-76), the Rev Stuart Leamy (Ma B, Th B 57-65) and Canon Hugh Williams (Md B 54-62) on this open letter to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York from clergy who doubt the sacramental ministry of the women who have been ordained to the Anglican priesthood.

They ask for "a structural solution" to the problems that will arise when the church ordains women as bishops, and say that in the absence of such a structure they might not be able, in conscience, to continue ministering in the C of E.

Another signatory is the Rt Rev Lindsay Urwin, until recently Bishop of Horsham.
