 EVANGELICALS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Such a long-range and intermittent relationship with the bishop is very different from the theological ideal, according to which the bishop, like the presbyter, is a pastor and teacher, and should be the chief pastor and teacher in his diocese.
The problem is that, with so many bishops and Evangelical clergy out of sympathy with one another because of their conflicting views, the bishop is often regarded by the incumbent as a threat more than a support, and close relations are consequently avoided.
When, however, a bishop starts to ordain or license women priests, he is seen by the Anglo-Catholic as causing a schism in his diocesan team, by introducing among them those who will minister sacraments which are at the very least dubious, and quite possibly invalid.

 COMMENT SEPTEMBER 1998
A COMMITTEE set up by the House of Bishops of the Church of England under the chairmanship of the Bishop of Blackburn is at present undertaking a review of the Act of Synod.
In fact the failure to appoint diocesan, suffragan or assistant bishops opposed to women's ordination has meant that the greater part of the burden of extended oversight for parishes seeking it has been borne by the Provincial Episcopal Visitors.
There seems now to be a feeling among some bishops that the present arrangements (which have arisen largely from the appointments which they made, or failed to make) is unfortunate and needs to be reviewed.
