Motions are currently being passed to allow Female Bishops in the Church of England. The vast majority of voters supported the notion to let women share the main stage. Although the motion is far from a foregone conclusion, a group of rogue bishops are boycotting the move, on the grounds that because Jesus didn’t choose female disciples to spread the word that it shouldn’t be allowed now.

Women are natural preachers, think about how many time’s your matriarch dealt you a crippling sermon when you brought home that skank from the laundromat, or decided it would be really funny to bury your cousins hamster alive, or even every Sunday dinner when you left all those greens, and she told you about all the little African children who are dying for a Brussel sprout.

And the thing is, you listened, maybe you stopped listening, but at first they had you? And it had nothing to do with religion.

The attitudes displayed by the rogue bishops are exactly why the church is losing benchwarmers faster than Mugabe can rig an election, by refusing to acknowledge the changing nature of society, they are losing their connection with people and no misguided rock out at the church social is going to change that in a hurry.
