Should the Church of England Admit Women Bishops?

Yes.

The ordination of women into the priesthood was agreed by the General Synod in 1993. Given that this was not a mistake, to allow women to be practicing priests but not to allow the more talented ones to be promoted is inconsistent, especially given that the supreme governor of the Church of England is the Queen, widely understood to be a woman.
