Our thanks to MIke P for this. An extract:
The Right Rev Mullally’s predecessors have all declined to ordain women to the priesthood. She succeeds Bishop Richard Chartres, who retired in February after 12 years in the post.
But her promotion – after just two-and-a-half years as a junior bishop – signals a victory for the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who has repeatedly criticised poverty and inequality.
He has also has fought for more senior women clergy, and has been frustrated in his attempts to liberalise the Church of England’s rules on gay clergy. The Bishop of Maidstone, the Right Rev Rod Thomas – whose supervises clergy who will not accept women priests or bishops – said: ‘Despite my own concerns over women bishops I think she will be a very positive force for the Church in London.’
However Reverend Jules Gomes, pastor of Church of England St Augustine’s in Douglas, Isle of Man, said: ‘Conservative evangelical and Anglo-Catholic churches will struggle to accept a woman bishop, but will find it even more difficult given that Bishop Mullally is completely unremarkable as a theologian, biblical scholar, preacher, evangelist or pastor.’ [J4MB: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an incompetent woman can be promoted in preference to a competent man.]
The speaker list for ICMI18 is here. The Reverend Jules Gomes’s talk title will be, ‘Singing in the ruins: How feminists have destroyed the Church of England beyond repair’. You can book your ticket to the event here.
Justice for Men & Boys 
As a Christian (CofE) I don’t care if a Bishop or any other member of the clergy is male or female, just hat they write good sermons and are a responsible, spiritual pillar of the community. I think most of the congregation in my area would agree.
However, I do know that women make excellent Church Wardens. The brass Altar rail always gleams at Communion and there isn’t a speck of dust to be found!

Female ministers destroy parishes, which is why a parish able to support a full time priest will wait for two years or so to get a man.
They almost certainly are not Christians; their religion, like that of the Left, is diversity.
The first things they invariably do are a) offend the volunteers and b) default on the diocese quota. They have the reputation of being extremely lazy – they want to do courses, etc, in PC subjects rather than divinity rather than the hard work of the cure of souls, and since they have lost the volunteer groups (mainly older women) an awful lot of routine pastoral work ceases to be done, particularly if they have several parishes – which becomes necessary as their parishes cease to meet their financial obligations.
If the CofE had to ordain women they should have approached it in the way Orthodox Churches approach married clergy. Not promoteable.

Well it looks like the NHS should look into encouraging diversity. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42397853 Shortage of medics and staff in general. Generally female “family friendly” workforce. Well here’s an idea encourage men! Far more likely to be full time, work unsocial shifts and actually use their expensive education! Plus more men are unemployed and those in part time jobs are far more likely to think they are “under employed”. And of course more men in the NHS would start to increase diversity just a little towards the actual proportions in the population so becoming “representative” . A win all round. I’d say.
