The #BishopofMaidstone (in newsletters) has asked #MaleHeadship-espousing churches to decide whether to be transparent with @churchofengland churchgoers about their #PCCResolution for #MaleOnlyPriesthood+female submission in church. You couldn’t make it up. What did they decide? 
>>> You can find these sections in his two most recent newsletters, written for ‘complementarian’ @churchofengland church leaders (those who espouse #MaleHeadship & #FemaleSubmission in church life & marriage).

They have genuinely been debating whether to be transparent
with the churchgoers who support them financially + the wider world
about their policy of excluding women from ministry leadership.
Genuinely.
This is the @churchofengland we are talking about.
Jaw on floor.

I should’ve phrased the 1st tweet in this thread more accurately. It’s the bishop’s Working Group (rather than the affected churches) that has been considering ‘issues such as being transparent about having passed a resolution.’ The churches *may* then be asked to commit to that.
