Compromise plan on women bishops
A working party of Church of England
bishops is hoping to head off a
potential split with a compromise plan
on the ordination of woman bishops.
Its report suggests a group of male
bishops - so called "flying bishops" -
could work in parishes unwilling to
accept the authority of a woman.
Calls to set up a separate division of
the Church have been rejected.
The General Synod voted in July to
begin the process which could lead to
the consecration of women bishops.
