Resolutions

To protect those in the Church of England who could not accept the ordination of women as priests, two resolutions were provided. Resolution A : "That this parochial church council would not accept a woman as the minister who presides at or celebrates the Holy Communion or pronounces the Absolution in the parish." Resolution B : "That this parochial church council would not accept a woman as the incumbent or priest-in-charge of the benefice or as a team vicar for the benefice."
