<p>The most recent statistics available on the number of women in ordained ministry
in the Church of England can be found in the table below. These figures combine all
clergy who are full time or part time stipendiary clergy and those who are self-supporting
clergy. Although more recent figures are not yet available, the general trend is towards
an increase in women training for ordained ministry and the Church of England has
most recently appointed three women as bishops who are:</p><p> </p><ul><li><p>The
Bishop of Gloucester, the Rt Revd Rachel Treweek,</p></li><li><p>The Bishop of Stockport,
Rt Revd Elizabeth Lane,</p></li><li><p>And the Bishop of Hull, Rt Revd Alison White.</p></li></ul><p>
