1. Q 39 was another asked re #TransparencyAboutPCCResolutions @churchofengland.org #Synod.
3/4 of these bishops’ websites don’t mention the word women on their front page. Most churchgoers aren’t going to research further, as to why a particular bishop is allocated to their church.

In my earlier post, I omitted the last, ludicrous, phrase of the answer to Question 38 for @churchofengland.org’s 7.25 General #Synod:
‘it is hoped’.
We gave up hoping many years ago. Hoping hasn’t worked.
Bishops need actually to do something effectual to ensure #TransparencyAboutPCCResolutions

![At the end of the ‘answer’, it says ‘it is hoped [this will encourage churches] to ‘find ways’ to ‘discuss’ their position on women’s ministry in open & clear ways. Again, hoping is not ensuring.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4sytozln3qvqzvkg3poyk3dl/bafkreihmyaofcjceavtfsdnbzumwfwquiocne4aw6euif6dwr7jpomn3cy@jpeg)

Mid 2025: yet more @churchofengland.org #Synod members ask bishops via written Questions for #TransparencyAboutPCCResolutions which exclude women from equality in ministry.
The ‘answer’ actually means ‘nothing’.
But it’s hidden in a word-soup of drivel. This must end.

When will bishops stop this arrogant & lawless behaviour?
If they are getting this ‘oversight’
<< for their parish >>,
then how could clergy think they have the right to force that on their churchgoers?

Someone asked what Parliament’s approach was when the 2012 women bishops vote failed. For what it’s worth here’s ChatGPT’s answer:

This church wants to exclude women from applying.
Has their PCC followed www.churchofengland.org/sites/defaul...
during this vacancy, & consulted the wider church community to see if this is actually the wish of their @churchofengland.org parish?

@churchofengland.org women are now speaking up.
We had to be firm to
- be ‘allowed’ by men to go to university
- be ‘allowed’ ..to vote
- be ‘allowed’ ..to be ordained
- be ‘allowed’ ..to be bishops
- etc
It’s an ongoing struggle.
