Synodical matters

This article 'Has the women bishops vote triggered a bigger crisis for the C of E' is very comprehensive and is well worth a read. It includes a piece by Jon Marlow called 'Is Synod broken' which I also found very helpful on the role of 'the laity'.

As I reflect on the ambitions (be they male or female) of religious folk, which I have done over the last week, Tim Challies has written a lovely post called Humble Celebrity.  It moved me.
