England UK
Illegal gender discrimination to follow appointment of First Female Bishop, Church of England.
But greetings anyway, from the upstairs room*.
'Under the
plans being set out tomorrow, diocesan women bishops would be introduced
as a priority to the Lords, leapfrogging men traditionally chosen on
the basis of time served.
The reforms would not affect Mrs Lane, who is a suffragan bishop and therefore not allowed to sit in the House.
It
is hoped this will mean female clerics will be able to sit among the
'Lords Spiritual' of the Upper Chamber sometime next year. The Diocese
of Southwell and Nottingham have indicated female candidates had been
considered for their vacancy.
Mrs Lane dismissed suggestions that her appointment is just a symbolic gesture by a Church still predominantly run by men.
She said: 'This moment is significant, but it is not simply a gesture. I'm the first, but I won't be the only.
'And I follow in the footsteps of women across the Anglican Church and globally.'
But others have raised concerns about the appointment saying they felt it was against Christian teachings.
On December 17 Rev Libby Lane, a parish priest from Cheshire, was announced as the first woman Bishop.
Her
appointment is expected to be one of a number of dramatic changes in
the Church of England being announced this month that will transform the
role of females in the church.
A
bill is expected to be presented to Parliament on Thursday to suspend
the current rules which governs appointments of bishops to the Lords for
10 years.
The
Government hopes this will allow them to sidestep the current process
of appointing Bishops to the House of Lords, which is decided on the
basis of length of service.
They want to allow women to be fast-tracked
to sit in the upper chamber and to be given priority if an opening comes
up in the House of Lords in a form of positive discrimination.
It
is hoped this could happen by as early as next year and the move has
been backed by the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Labour. '
I think it goes without needing to say that UKIP suck up to the pedophile movement too, as recent events have shown, and can be counted on not to oppose their high priestesses of feminism.A dark day then.
Tears of Baal.

Be of good cheer,
