The governing body of the Anglican Church in Britain voted on this day to approve the appointment of women as bishops. This is an action that risks a schism in the church in its historic homeland, as the Anglican church worldwide faces one of the most serious threats to its unity in its history over the ordination of homosexual clergy.[1]
