Other more experienced writers have suggested that we should have got women ordained as bishops to start with.

In freeing women to take their rightful place in the church leadership, we echo that radical statement which shakes oppressive boundaries.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221448906225437607noreply@blogger.com
