All’s well in patriarchy in the church, so don’t you fret your little Jesus loving heads.

Last night the ordination of female bishops has been rejected by the Church of England, and it will be at least another five years until the vote can be considered again. Equalities minister Maria Miller has described the decision as disappointing, and “behind the times.”

The Metro reports that 324 members of the general synod approved the ordination of women bishops, however 122 rejected it. In the House of Bishops 44 voted in favour, with three against and two abstentions. In the House of Clergy 148 were in favour and 45 against but in the House of Laity there were 132 votes for yes and 74 for no. In order to pass, the legislation needed at least 138 votes in the final house, made up lay members of the Church elected from the 44 dioceses.

So what we’ve learned from this is that the Church of England are sexist and don’t think that women can love God as much as men.

The CofE not allowing female bishops is a backwards move. Which is strange, as they normally move diagonally.

Sorry for this BBM digestion of news, but we’re just not that up on religion!
