Women bishops - what difference does it make? Westminster Faith Debate

Tuesday 26th May, 2015, 6:30-8:00pm

St James’s Church, Piccadilly, London, UK

This year the Church of England appointed its first woman bishop, the Rt Rev Libby Lane. In other churches and other faiths, there have been senior women leaders for some time. This debate draws several of them together to ask what difference woman bishops are likely to make.
