Voting Taking Place on Women Bishops

The transcript discusses the debate within the Church of England regarding the ordination of women bishops. It highlights the division within the church, the arguments for and against the change, and the complex voting process required to pass the legislation. The Synod, consisting of bishops, clergy, and laity, needs a two-thirds majority in each house to approve the measure. While many dioceses support the change, the laity remains divided. The potential outcomes of the vote could either see women bishops by 2014 or delay the issue for several years.
