The earthquake that was female ordination in the Church of England is still producing aftershocks, decades after the first woman was ordained.
While it is settled that women can be ordained as deacons, priests and bishops, what is now controversial is the appointment of a bishop who does not believe in the ordination of women. This is highlighted by the case of Bishop Philip North, who has been appointed as Bishop of Sheffield, and who does not believe female ordination is possible.
Some people, such as Canon Giles Fraser, are annoyed about this, and want the appointment rescinded.
