Yesterday's decision of the Church of England's ruling body - the General Synod - to allow the consecration of women, seems to be an historical landmark.
Apparently, some 1300 of its traditional membership had been threatening to leave unless the Synod puts in place some safeguards.
Although it rejected the idea of 'super-bishops' - allowing C of E membership to opt for a male bishop if it so wished - the Synod has until next February to devise a (and so far, unspecified) compromise which will essentially be seen by modernists as nothing much short of an appeasement.
But yesterday after the decision had been taken - which, of course, women and modernists welcomed - there were reports of some traditional members in tears. There they were praying, calling for a divine force to show them the way.
