| July 14, 2010 | Hindu statesman Zed lauds Church of England for allowing female bishops | |
Nevada (US): Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has extolled Church of England for its decision to allow women bishops, calling it a 'step in the right direction'. This decision was arrived
at a July 9-13 meeting of General Synod (parliament) of the Church at York University
(United Kingdom). Final draft and approval will be probably made in General Synod
of 2012. Earlier, women could be ordained as priests but were barred from holding
office of bishop. Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, in a
statement in Nevada (USA) today, urged the Church to empower the women bishops
with exactly equal roles as men bishops and without any limits or conditions.
As women were equal partners in the society, they should be equal partners in
Church also. Quoting Hindu scriptures, Rajan Zed said: Where women are honored,
there the gods are pleased. About 1.7 million people take part in a Church of
England service each month and Dr. Rowan Douglas Williams is the Archbishop of
Canterbury. |
