Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Robert Key (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 25 June 2007 on behalf of the Church Commissioners.


Women Bishops

Question
Has the hon. Gentleman seen early-day motion 1664, which was tabled only 10 days ago but has already attracted 67 signatures from across the House? Will he please sign that motion?
Answer

The hon. Gentleman makes official his unofficial request to me. Perhaps we should wait till Thursday and see what happens. We should hesitate to be critical of those who try to preserve the Church of England as a broad church that gladly encompasses such differences. They are profound and theological and make for enormous difficulties in the Church.
