Progress of the Legislation
Apologies to readers for an inexplicable slip in last months table giving the possible progress of the legislation to ordain women as bishop.

We reproduce the corrected table here and apologise again for any confusion caused.

its members to provide a substantial presence on the day. Fr Brandie has been asked to oversee the practical arrangements, and his contributions and expertise have already been much

appreciated by Mainstream.
The active and willing participation of Anglicans of different traditions in such a major event as this is something of a ‘First’. Lets make its numbers speak! As co-belligerents we comprise far more than the ‘tiny minority’ which we are portrayed as being.
