🧵 Summary of the transparency issue that is affecting women in the @churchofengland:

1 In the 8 years since women were finally ‘allowed’ to be bishops, a problem has developed in the church. 2 When the legislation was passed in 2014, an exemption was agreed by Parliament, allowing those clergy/churches who don’t believe women should have equality with men in church ministry to carry on excluding women from being priests/vicars & bishops, etc.

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).
