The Church of England..............

The Church of England should hang it's collective head in shame.  They opened the door to Women Bishops the minute they decided to allow women to be ordained as priests.  Anyone with a modicum of foresight could see this one coming.  Women would excel as much as men do and that would mean that some of the women would put themselves in line to become member of the episcopate.  Funnily enough, this was not the Bishops fault, it was not the clergy's fault, it was the Laity's fault as they did not vote in sufficient numbers to pass this into Law.  I saw one woman on the T.V. (her name escapes me for the minute!) who argued for no change by saying, and I am paraphrasing here, apologies if I get it wrong. "traditionally the Church was led by men".  Well lets look at that statement.  The Church was founded in  A.D. 33 (very approximately).  society at that time was not the same as society is now.  So the 'tradition' grew out of a particular form of society where men took the lead, and women were definitely second-class citizens.  This is an irrelevance now.  We now live in a meritocracy that is supposed to be blind to gender, and in civil society that is the Law.  It leads to the saying that 'sometimes the best man for the job is a woman.'
What of the male leaders in the Church of England?  They voted to change the law and to start a new 'tradition.' 
Is it just me, or is there something deeply illogical, about the leaders of an organisation wanting a change, and the followers want to maintain the 'status quo'?  Answers please on a post card addressed to 'The Archbishop of Canterbury'
