Well, This Would Be A Logical Next Step After Allowing Women Bishops

Damian Thompson reports that the Church of England's General Synod has set up a working party to look into Bishops becoming nuns. Well, why not? If you throw everything else out the window this is the next logical step. & I am sure it will result in giving the OK for it to happen. When it does, it will also result in a few of those orders seeking to "cross the Tiber" & return to the Catholic Church.

Church of England bishops 'will be allowed to become nuns', according to Synod source

Male bishops could become Anglican nuns, under Synod proposals

I thought this was a spoof at first, but it seems not: a General Synod working party is exploring whether the Church of England’s male bishops can join religious orders previously reserved for women. In other words, become Anglican nuns.
As usual, the Synod’s topsy-turvy ecclesiology is a mystery to me, but I gather that the idea is that bishops would be entitled to take vows in orders of nuns so that they can provide special episcopal oversight to the sisters. It’s a typically ingenious Anglican response to the forthcoming ordination of women bishops. “There will be jokes about bishops in wimples, but having bishop-nuns would introduce a degree of mutual cooperation that could make the introduction of women bishops much smoother,” says my Synod source.
And just when I thought things couldn’t get any weirder, I learn the identity of the bishop who is rumoured to have volunteered to take nun’s vows: the Rt Rev Nick Baines, Bishop of Croydon, often spoken of as a successor to Rowan Williams as Archbishop of Canterbury. Says my informant: “Nick is a big fan of Sister Act, and we knew he was keen to ‘get ahead,’ as it were, so he was the obvious person to ask. And apparently he was delighted, because he’s all about challenging gender stereotypes.
