Women priests 25 years on: How are we flourishing? March 13, 2019 by Fulcrum Today marks 25 years since women were first ordained to priesthood in the Church of England.

My experience with those who have outwardly and honestly aligned themselves to this stance has been overwhelmingly good (and largely on the Anglo Catholic end). Jude Smith.
