As a non-Anglican, I ask why the consecration of women as bishops is an issue if the ordination of women as priests is not. Is it not just a question of degree once you have ordained women as priests?

The ordination of women as priests is also an ongoing issue in the world-wide Anglican Communion. It is not universally accepted -- and few Anglicans outside the wwAC accept same.

I am not about to defend those who favor the one and oppose the other, because I am not one of them.

(I do commend you for your grasp of the appropriate terminology, however!)

Please forgive me for my ignorance - but I have no knowledge of how many Anglicans are within the wwAC and how many are without or why they are without.
