The Church of England’s General Synod has today
enacted the measure enabling women to be
ordained as Bishops and Justin Welby,
The Archbishop of
Canterbury, said: “today we can begin to
embrace a new way of being the church”.
The formal enactment of the legislation - Amending
Canon 33 - followed the vote on final approval by
the Synod at its meeting in July of this year. Since
that time the legislation has been approved in
Parliament and received Royal Assent.
The final legislative requirements took place during
a session chaired by the Archbishop of York, Dr
John Sentamu , on the first day of the Synod's
meeting in London.
With the Instrument of Enactment having been
read to Synod the motion was put without debate,
with only a simple majority required for approval.
Following the item being passed the legislation
was signed into law by the Archbishops of
Canterbury and York before the whole Synod.
Following the vote Justin Welby, the Archbishop of
Canterbury , said: "Today we can begin to
embrace a new way of being the church and
moving forward
together. We will also continue to seek the
flourishing of the church of those who disagree."
The Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich was
the last to select a Bishop under the former rules
and there are currently vacancies in: Southwell &
Nottingham, Gloucester, Oxford and Newcastle.
Suffragan (assistant) bishop posts are currently
vacant in Dunwich, Hertford, Hull, Plymouth and
Stockport.
The first women priests were ordained 20 years
ago in 1994 and today make up one third of the
clergy.
