  Well today there is a possibility that all that can be put right. It was very interesting though at one time, women were the biggest denunciators of women coming forward in such roles. That was most certainly the case. People love the status quo, particularly the regular attenders. However women in recent times have been playing more of a role so maybe the time has come. But as was said on R4 this morning she is actually the outsider for the job and is up against two highly quialified men. However this particular branch of Chritianity might make the gesture.
  
  But as Keef says there it could cause splits, as we have seen with the gay bishop scenario. Some of these issues completely fragment thinking and harmony and as a consequence are probably overall very negative as they split the Church assunder.
  
  One only had to hear Iris Robinson, Member of Stormont, wife of the First Minister of Northern Ireland speaking the other day on Panorama..she's a devout church goer and in the programme described homosexuality as a "total abomination" This from a devout church goer! Many in the various branches of the Christian Church have very strong views on maintaining the status quo. Trying to convince them otherwise is a very very tough job.
