Following the momentous decision of the General Synod to consecrate women as Bishops in the Church of England, Church House Bookshop recommend a number of titles that put forward the arguments for - and against - this significant development.
So far the debate surrounding the ordainment of women bishops in the Church of England has lacked a clear, positive voice from a Catholic perspective in favour of women bishops. This book aims to redress that balance. More
This book argues the case for women bishops by addressing the significance of scripture and tradition, issues of authority, the need for change, as well as the place of bishops in the church and the world. More
This book, representing Anglo-Catholic views, examines the theology of the episcopate in depth, and addresses the legal consequences for the Church if women are ordained as bishops and offers an equitable solution to the problems which will inevitably arise. More
The papers in this collection were written for, or in consequence of, a symposium organised by Affirming Catholicism in 2006. The aim of the symposium was to enunciate a progressive Catholic position in favour of the ordination of women to the episcopate. More
GS 1685. Commonly known as the "Manchester Report", The Report of the Women Bishops Legislative Drafting Group was published in April 2008 and will be debated at General Synod in July 2008. More
