The Church of England just recently said no to women bishops. There were howls of outrage from all the predictable quarters, for whom such a troglodyte move is just smack-the-forehead baffling.
Now I can understand a vote against women bishops as a preliminary move to try to undo the ordination of women priests. And I can understand a vote for women bishops as the next logical step after having established the practice of ordaining women priests. What I don't get is the affirming the ordination of women priests and opposing them as bishops. The pig, once swallowed by the python, has to move on down the line.
Also what I don't get is the attempt by men like N.T. Wright to pretend that women's ordination is a matter of biblical obedience, as opposed to floating down the Whig view of history on an inner tube, right over the falls of progress.

That was very good. I’m a big fan of his and I always enjoy his writing.
Here is a piece he wrote years ago titled “Perfectly Legal” that is a classic IMHO. He describes the actions of the modern unbeliever with excellent imagery. Enjoy!

They had no business ordaining them in the first place, now they have a conundrum.
