Nov. 20th, 2012 01:10 pmToday the CofE are voting on women bishops.
This is really none of my business on account of how I am not and never have been a member of the CofE. However it is slightly closer to my life than that; because my Dad's Dad was a CofE vicar and my Dad is very active in the CofE. Also it turns out that my Dad's ex-vicar is now my Mum's Catholic priest; which is super weird (he left the CofE because OMG GURL COOTIES or something, I don't pretend to understand the theological wossname). Anyway so in my Mum's church there are women who are working slowly slowly carefully towards a great place for women within the Catholic church (which is way behind the CofE on that) and they would be... not so very happy with the cheerful welcome extended to dudes like this dude. Yah, so that's all sucky.
But victory in a personal dispute with my parents means I will not have to put up with attending church at Christmas! I'm orf to the outlaw's instead. Yay.
