The five guiding principles of the House of Bishops’ declaration which underpinned General Synod’s agreement to women bishops clearly provided a framework to make it possible for arrangements to develop for the Church of England to maintain the highest possible degree of communion and contribute to mutual flourishing across all the diverse traditions that exist. Paragraph 30 of the House of Bishops’ declaration gave a very clear commitment to continuing the supply of traditionalist Catholic Bishops and Headship Evangelical Bishops.</strong></p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Sir Tony Baldry question first answered 02/02/2015 14:38:00 answering member 93 label Biography information for Sir Tony Baldry
