A nice cup of TEA


A perusal of the BBC News showed me the encouraging progress from the Church of England's current difficulty with women being bishops.

The proposal for compromise and making sure everyone is happy and having a nice time seems to be a very wise one. TEA.

This seems to stand for Transferred Episcopal Arrangements, amounting to having ever-so-slightly magical 'flying bishops'. If your parish gets upset at the idea of a person... who wears a dress and a funny hat and has more ornamental jewelry than most... should be a woman, they can ask to have a man in a dress instead to come to do some of the more tricky bits of liturgy.

But I'm sure that as long as tea is a central method in the Church of England, things can't go too far wrong.

Some time ago, Dave Walker of CartoonChurch.com blog had this insightful analysis of the potential problems of Women with mitres.
