New evangelical Bishop
The Church of England is to keep its promise and appoint a conservative evangelical bishop who takes a complementarian view of men’s and women’s ministry.

In a press statement it was announced that ‘the Dioceses Commission unanimously agreed with a proposal received from the Archbishop of Canterbury to fill the vacant see of Maidstone. The see, which had been vacant since 2009, had been identified by the archbishop as one that should be filled by a bishop who takes a conservative evangelical view on headship.’
