- Text
- That this House of Bishops:
- 1. Notes with gratitude the many signs of God's blessing on the ministry of women priests which affirm our belief that our Church was led by the Spirit of God in its decision to proceed with the ordination of women.
- 2. Affirms its recognition that there is no theological or canonical impediment to the consecration of women as Bishops within our Church, but counsels our Church to move with special sensitivity in this matter especially until Lambeth 1988.
- 3. In recognizing that the episcopate is a sign of unity, notes the importance of Lambeth discussions on the consecration of women as bishops within our Communion both so that the unity of our Communion may be maintained and so that fullness of God's gifts in men and women may be received within the episcopate to the creation of a deeper unity and a more effective witness in the carrying out of our mission.
- 4. Urges the need for the development of a clear articulation of the theological rationale for our understanding of episcopacy as a contribution to our dialogue with other Churches.
