Are you talking about the recent Synod of the Church of England, where all three sections of the Synod (bishops, clergy and laity) voted in favor of women bishops, but the laity just failed by six votes to get the required 2/3 majority?

Once again: man, not God.
When the only ones listening are the disenfranchised, the disenfranchised are not listening to. We know the leaders aren't listening, because if they were, the disenfranchised would no longer be so.
The priesthood is all about power, not service. Don't get the two confused. Which is why I shall be at the movies on Friday, and not in the temple.

It's so good know men are stupid in other churches too.

Could we make that 'some men' please? Most men - and certainly most men who were bishops or other clergy - voted in favor of women bishops in that Synod.

Most are not based on the numbers I see. Progress can be slow.

Men follow the will of our Heavenly Father. Their hands are tied. The leaders at the top are inspired men of the cloth. They commune with this god that sits on his throne above us.
The responsibility is ALL with Heavenly Father. He has failed.

Well, that's a cop out. I might need to seek solace elsewhere, if that's really the case.
Pedicure, here I come!

Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)
