Women Bishops Blocked—Barely—by Lay Leaders Despite Clergy Support

Church of England unable to muster two-thirds vote despite support of Rowan Williams and Justin Welby.

Posted November 20, 2012 by Timothy C. Morgan

Today, conservative lay leaders in the Church of England narrowly succeeded (by a six-vote margin) in defeating a historic measure that would have allowed women clergy to serve as bishops.
A majority (132-74) voted in favor of women bishops but failed to reach the two-thirds vote required in the House of Laity in the General Synod of the Church of England. The synod's other two bodies—the House of Clergy (148-45) and the House of Bishops (44-3)—voted by a sufficient margin to approve women as bishops. (Women are already permitted to serve as priests.) Approval in all three houses is required by canon law.
The matter may not come to another vote for five years. Some who opposed the measure were looking for much stronger language—a conscience clause—protecting those churches, bishops, clergy, and lay leaders who do not approve of women as bishops, based on their biblical and theological convictions.
The BBC reported:

The Rev Rachel Weir, chairwoman of Watch [an advocacy group], said, "This is a tragic day for the Church of England after so many years of debate and after all our attempts at compromise. Despite this disappointing setback, Watch will continue to campaign for the full acceptance of women's gifts of leadership in the Church's life." Watch said bishops would need to act promptly to offer pastoral support in the coming weeks to women clergy and others who felt devastated by decision. But synod member Susie Leafe said the outcome was because of faults in the legislation. She said: "There were a lot of places along the way that we could have had a measure in front of us that wouldn't have been voted down, and it's very sad that this was able to go on without us facing the reality of the situation."
The Catholic Group in General Synod said "mediation and conciliation are needed so that new legislation can be framed to provide fairly for all members of the Church of England".

Both the retiring Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and his new replacement, Justin Welby, favored approval of women as bishops. Welby is widely considered to be from the evangelical wing of the church. The vote took place at Church House in central London.
Church of England bishops will meet on Wednesday, Nov. 21, to evaluate their next steps.

And now my paper for School regarding the article: 

While this post from Christianity Today appears to be a simple highlight from a vote within the Anglican denomination it reveals a much wider spread of apostasy throughout the Western Church. In America today, much like in England throughout the last century, many God-hating idol-worshipers continue to label themselves “Christians” despite the obvious fact that they have rejected the God revealed to us in Scripture. Instead of telling you my personal “opinion” about this issue, as my opinion would be irrelevant, Christian leaders are required by God to “peach/teach the Word”. Reference: (2 Timothy 4:1-2). So we will look at God the Holy Spirit’s requirement for women in the local church and also God the Holy Spirit’s qualification for elders, overseers, pastors, shepherds, presbyters, priests and bishops. Reference: (2 Timothy 3:16). This is a vitally important reference to connect, since it’s not my word that is inerrant but God’s Word that is inerrant. And it’s to this God’s opinion, not mine, that Christians are required to be obedient.

Women in the local church: Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. (1 Timothy 2:9-15 ESV)

Qualifications for an Overseer/Elder: The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil. (1 Timothy 3:1-7 ESV)

And again Qualifications for and Elder/Overseer: This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you—if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. (Titus 1:5-9 ESV)

What you need to realize is that this isn’t an issue of Christianity vs. worldly egalitarianism. This is an issue on the authority of God’s Word over God’s people. Can women be disciples? Yes, the Bible references women disciples. Can women be deacons? Yes, Church History lists woman deaconesses. Were there women Apostles? No. Women elders? No. Women pastors? No. Women bishops? No. Women overseers? No. Women presbyters? No. Why? Because the official biblical requirement for the office begins with “Male” and adds “He” must be married to a (or 1) woman. Women therefore are, by definition, disqualified from that office. The good news is Christ died for the sin of violating (or supporting the violation) of this law of God. And God is gracious, and if theses sinners are not yet dead then God has granted time for them to repent of this crime done against His Word and trust in Christ’s substitutionary atonement for this sin.
