Actually, the female bishops in ECUSA voted for Vicki Gene's pointy hat. And there are quite a few - I started looking but got bored because (1) the ECUSA website doesn't have a single list - it's divided up into provinces and (2) a lot of the female bishops have male-sounding names so you have to check them all.

ECUSA has had female bishops for quite some time (I remember with horror the first, who was a completely unqualified two-fer affirmative action appointment). It's ENGLAND that is having the debate right now.

Now, they've got a female candidate for Presiding Bishop...one who's relatively inexperienced. I'm betting that it's either her or your former Bp. "Gatecrasher" Alexander who ends up as "Primate".

Of course you are correct. There are a few female bishops, who like the majority (unfortunately) of male bishops, were promoted for their idealogy rather than their theology.
