The Church of England struggled long and bitterly with the ordination of women. It was an issue I cared about a great deal in my churchy days. In the early to mid '80's American women priests used to come over to demonstrate that women could celebrate mass without the roof caving in. I attended one such event in Manchester Cathedral in defiance of church law, though our bishop, who was liberal, winked at it- and it seemed daring and defiant. Now, 40 years later, a woman has been appointed Archbishop of Canterbury.
I am no longer churchy and I think, "How nice" and wish Dr Mullaly well and pass on to other things. I am not one of the 74% who, according to a recent survey, care not a fig for the Archbishop of Canterbury but I can't say I care very greatly. I have changed and society has changed....
....So much, so much....
