    Default Split in Church of England

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7496216.stm

    I'm not sure which side to take over this issue. There does seem to be some foundations for the argument against women bishops, but they are a little vague and the history of male bishops is irrelevant.

    Hopefully things will not get to the point where they appoint openly homosexual bishops as has been done elsewhere. There can be a debate over women bishops, but no discussion regarding homosexual bishops.

    One thing that surprised me was the talk of reconciliation with the Catholic Church. The BBC always struck me as being a bit hostile towards Rome. But then Anglicans IMO may as well be Catholic, if they want such a hierarchical structure then the Pope seems a better candidate than the Royal Family.

    I'm Church of Scotland anyway so I suppose its not my problem.

    Well at least officialy, I'm not sure if I believe in predestination. Does that put me somewhere between a Calvinist and a Lutheran?

    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
