Description

Jeff Collins follows controversy over the Church of England’s decision to allow the ordination of women. A new group has been formed to prevent women priests being appointed to parish churches; their spokesman here is Paul Kent, President for the Society of the Maintenance of the Faith. In contrast, the Reverend Michael Watts outlines the group’s policy as not opposing women priests. Lawrence Spicer, LBC religious correspondent, is consulted.
