Petitions on Women Bishops

A number of petitions are available online for those taking varying positions on women bishops, following the production of a letter by WATCH and others, apparently signed by over 700 serving women clergy, urging the bishops to take a minimalist 'Single Clause, Code of Practice' approach.

One for male clergy sharing that view and wishing to express support is here.

A similar one for laity is here.

An alternative petition for everyone, endorsing the view adopted at the National Evangelical Anglican Congress in 1977 and rejecting the Single Clause approach in favour of one of the other options in the Manchester Report is here.

A petition for all those who support the consecration of women as bishops but who reject the Single Clause approach in favour of one of the other options in the Manchester Report is here.
