We had a meeting at the cathedral tonight organised by the Bishop to talk about the vote that happened and where to go from here. It was predominantly full of ppl who were in favour of women bishops tho there were those there eager to hammer home their views against - which were received with an awful lot more tolerance than I was expecting, I have to say. There were times when I welled up with what ppl were saying and on the whole, the occasional bigot aside, it was a very healing meeting. We then went onto the pub to debrief and this was hugely useful too - there is something very healing about being with ppl and talking things out. I know there will be women bishops one day and I really hope that day is sooner rather than later as I know some wonderful women who would fit the bill.
