True LTS, but it did take the C of E nearly 500 years to get round to ordaining women priests and then quite a few left the church because of this dreadful heresy, including some clergy who became Catholic priests; they didn't put away their wives however. Yes the next stage is ordaining female bishops but why is it taking so long. I'm glad to see that the Church of New Zealand (I knew that the USA churches were doing this) is more enlightened, more egalitarian and - to me the most important factor - less hypocritical. Doc John
