	Bishop Christopher
		July it was announced from Downing Street that the Rt Revd Christopher Hill, currently Bishop of Stafford in the Diocese of Lichfield, is to be the ninth Bishop of Guildford.
		Bishop Christopher’s election will then be confirmed in an arcane judicial ceremony set within an act of worship held at St Mary-le-Bow in the City of London.
		Once the court is satisfied, the election is confirmed and from that moment the Bishop Elect becomes the Bishop of the Diocese de iure and de facto.

		The other members of the Guildford Group are the Rt Rev Pete Broadbent, Bishop of Willesden, the Rt Rev Nicholas Reade, Bishop of Blackburn, the Rt Rev Dr John Saxbee, Bishop of Lincoln, and the Ven Dr Joy Tetley, Archdeacon of Worcester.
		And though we were a group chosen by the House of Bishops we included from the beginning the Archdeacon of Worcester, Joy Tetley, as it was essential that the Group heard the voice of a woman - herself in a senior ministry of oversight - from the 'inside'.
		Women Bishops in the Church of England?, the report of the House of Bishops' Working Party on Women in the Episcopate, is a survey of the theological issues the Church needs to consider as it decides whether or not to ordain women bishops.

	Anglicans get women bishops plan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The working party of bishops given the task of finding a way to ordain women as bishops and keep the Church together at the same time showed on Monday that it was under no illusion as to the challenge it faced.
		Its chairman, the Bishop of Guildford Christopher Hill, modestly acknowledged that it was untidy, and far from a perfect solution.
		There is evidence from inside the House of Bishops' meeting last week, that although they were content for it to be debated by synod, a substantial minority would have liked to move directly to include women among their number.

		Those archbishops and bishops from elsewhere who have violated the principle of provincial autonomy by intervening in dioceses and provinces other than their own should express regret for the ‘consequences of their actions’ — the consequences being the further deepening of the divisions in the Communion.
		Their actions in regard to blessing same sex-relationships and consecrating a bishop in a same sex relationship were contrary to the declared and re-iterated mind of the Communion as expressed in Resolution 1.10 of the 1998 Lambeth Conference.
		It is significant that Bishop Frank Griswold, the presiding bishop of ECUSA was himself a signatory of the Primates’ statement of October 2003.

		The Guildford group and the majority opinion on the House of Bishops was that these issues about jurisdiction and obedience were best and most fruitfully addressed through primary legislation.
		For such further work, the Bishops of Guilford and Gloucester have agreed to undertake some labour of revision and exploration in connection with the statement, consulting with the House’s theological group and the standing committee.
		The House of Bishops is asking Synod to give space for a little more sustained and prayerful reflection, in order to put some more flesh on the proposals that are before you, Proposals which represent, indeed, some fresh departures, some new and unfamiliar territory.

	A concise history of the Guildford Diocesan Guild
		The Guildford District was the stronger of the two; indeed it was numerically the largest in the whole Winchester Guild so that a concerted action by its members carried considerable weight in Guild affairs.
		The Guild Central Committee acknowledged the wishes of the Guildford and Yorktown Districts to form a separate Guild, and at an Annual General Meeting of the Winchester Guild, held in Guildford on July 2nd, 1927, terms for the separation were agreed.
		The Guildford District was by far the strongest in all respects, being centred on the Cathedral Church with its "crack" band, led by Alf Pulling, and including 22 of the Guild's towers and an initial membership of 145.

	The Report of the House of Bishops
		It would be impossible for a bishop who could not recognize women bishops to take an oath to a woman archbishop and yet the Report envisages that either or both archbishops could be women, without explaining how this difficulty of the oath of obedience is to be solved.
		Guildford states (para.38) that the advantages of a Third Province are that it has ecclesiological clarity, it meets the stated needs for adequate safeguards and it removes discriminatory provisions against women from the main body of the Church of England.
		It envisages that the woman archbishop would nominate a diocesan bishop in the province or observe an established procedure for precedence so that the archbishop’s jurisdiction would be transferred to a male bishop ‘if it were necessary for such jurisdiction to be exercised by a male bishop’.

	VirtueOnline - As Eye See It - WHERE ARE WE NOW? - by Roland Morant
		The Bishop of Gloucester was invited to join the Bishop of Guildford in a working group of two, and the revised TEA scheme was planned to be presented to General Synod at York in the Summer of 2006.
		At the meeting of the House of Bishops which preceded that of the General Synod in the Summer of 2006, it was apparent that there was disagreement over how matters should be advanced in connection with TEA/SEO, the bishops being unable to decide on what action should be taken.
		This, and indecision among the bishops, has led some Forward In Faith observers to be more optimistic as to how matters might develop in the immediate future, and to hope that the whole momentum towards the introduction of women bishops might slow down.

		For a bishop, as God's steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or addicted to wine or violent or greedy for gain; but he must be hospitable, a lover of goodness, prudent, upright, devout, and self-controlled.
		Bishops, who are also presbyters (elders), should accord with these and other scriptural injunctions appertaining to the office of presbyter.
		We envisage and request that the diocesan bishops of a new province be made full members of the House of Bishops and be eligible to sit in the House of Lords.

		A Church of England group is proposing a way forward aimed at both permitting women to become bishops – should General Synod vote in favour of this - and of preserving the maximum amount of unity within the Church.
		And though we were a group chosen by the House of Bishops we included from the beginning the Archdeacon of Worcester, Joy Tetley, as it was essential that the Group heard the voice of a woman – herself in a senior ministry of oversight – from the ‘inside’.
		In TEA a parish would be able to petition their diocesan bishop – if they are not able to recognise and accept women’s priestly and episcopal ministry and authority – for episcopal ministry from what we have called for the time being a Provincial Regional Bishop.

		David Peck, the Bishop of Guildford's chaplain, said: "It is amazing that at a time when 70 per cent of couples say they want a religious service, the Church of England has seen its market share falling from three-quarters to a third by excluding itself from the game."

	ne of the deepest ironies of the current debate about the ordination of women to the episcopate is that both sides
		Part II then makes it theoretically possible for bishops, parishes and cathedrals to refuse to accept a woman in the ministry of the presidency of the Eucharist, the ministry of reconciliation or as an incumbent, priest-in-charge or team vicar unless there is already a woman priest in post in the parish or cathedral.
		We intend to ensure that provision continues to be made by the diocesan bishop for the care and oversight of everyone in his diocese.
		Whatever his view on the ordination of women to the priesthood, each bishop will continue to accept full responsibility for the episcopal oversight and pastoral care of all in his charge, whatever their view on this issue.

	General Synod — November 2000
		John Gladwin, the Bishop of Guildford and a member of the Council, said that the two-year old Council was neither a Star Chamber nor a Cabinet, and in its leadership role it was to be a servant and not a master of the Church.
		Introducing the debate, David Smith, the Bishop of Bradford, said that three issues had emerged: grant-making should be devolved, CUF needed to engage with the wider Church, and there was overwhelming evidence that there should be a long-term future for the fund.
		Proposing the motion, Barry Rogerson, the Bishop of Bristol, said that the parishes in his diocese wanted "the Church of England to have a clear and agreed understanding of Christian initiation as a result of a common praxis".
