>WORLD REPORT

ENGLAND: Canterbury, York to propose amendments to women bishops
legislation

>By ENS staff

[Episcopal News Service] The archbishops of Canterbury and York have
"signaled their intention" to propose amendments to draft legislation on
women becoming bishops in the Church of England. The amendments would
preserve a female bishop's episcopal authority while providing an
alternative for those who are "unable to accept the new situation,"
according to a June 21 press release from Lambeth Palace.
