The Horror

At last, it's happened. The Church of England has finally consecrated it's first ever Boy Bishop. Libby Lane, a 48 year old clergyperson from Manchester, has finally been made Bishop of Stockport.

The Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, was delighted at Lane's promotion to being a top decision-maker in the Church of England.

"It is high time we had women bishops," stated Sentamu, who is known as Ole Rascal, "I have been praying and working for this day. In a few years' time when more and more women will be bishops, I predict we shall be wondering how we ever managed without them."

Lane

One person objected to Lane's consecration, saying that it "was not in the Bible." 

The Church of England is setting up a "talent pool" to reverse its alarming decrease in attendance. 

Good luck,

Church of England Elects First Boy Bishop Since the Middle Ages!

In a surprise move, the Church of England has elected its first Boy Bishop since the Middle Ages.

Rev. Libby Lane, who was a priestess in the Diocese of Chester, has been named as the new Boy Bishop of Stockport, in greater Manchester. After the surprise announcement, the new Boy Bishop said, "So today I pray will not be simply about one woman called up a new ministry in the church but much more than that, an opportunity to acknowledge all that has gone before and to look ahead to what is still to be done."

What beautiful thoughts, Libby!

The Episcopal Church has had Boy Bishops for years.

Good luck, CofE.
