The Church of England consecrates its first woman as a bishop

More than two decades after the Church of England allowed women to become priests, Anglicans have consecrated their first woman bishop. Her name is Libby Lane and she was consecrated today Jan. 26th.

No discrimination.
The fruit of the spirit is for all,
So all I can say is congratulations.
We all are servants of the living God.
Just that we now serve him better than churches and pastors do.

Rubbish, all tnks to God we broke out frm church of England...nd now church of Nigeria...regardless proudly Anglican!

Adebayo Olalere said...

I don't think this is right in any way though and Gayism, Lesbianism, and other acts of impunity and acts against the will of God are getting their ways in our society...Just not fair because this are part of those things called "Freedom" "Freedom"

Barbie said...

Vry correct.....nice

Unknown said...

Proud to be an Anglican/Pentecostal (RCCG)

Unknown said...

My dear. Humans are fast becoming slaves to freedom. Gay rights, nudity, beastialism, consanguineous marriage, auto/self-marriage even terrorism. All borne out of quest for freedom. Crazy ideologies all in d name of freedom. Humans re no longer intuitive nor intellectual animals but ruled by instinct like animals.

Unknown said...

Well I don't have nothing against it,women are God's creation too its far better than odaining sexual perverts like gays as priests and clergy HAIL NO..Hector from Kubwa say so.

Funny enough history was made!

Its really the first ever. Would Catholic church do the same

Unknown said...

Congratulations

Unknown said...

Dat's stupidity and over empoering of women in the western world.... corruption

Juleslouis said...

What a man can do, a woman can do better. The most important thing is salvation not church.

Anonymous said...

Catholics would do the same when you transgender all the Apostles and Christ himself into women! Very unintelligent question!

Anonymous said...

When a woman wants to play the role of a man; there is upsetting in the order of creation. A woman can never be the head of man in the church... no matter the woman liberation thing going on... It is unscriptural and against the order of grace. The examples of the home where women leave their duty to take over the man's, you will see dysfunction there. It is like finding a married woman with children gathered with men in their bear parlour on a Friday nite!!!
