Sex Discrimination (Religious Organisations)

We are where we are. We have an established Church and there may be good arguments against that, but as long as we are where we are, that is surely a good reason for us to set an example to other parts of the Christian faith and other religions—particularly to people in my constituency who are Muslims and who do not let women into their mosques—by allowing women to become bishops. That would set an example far beyond our Church and religion.
