Canterbury cathedral service marks 20 years of women priests

Today a special ceremony was held at Canterbury Cathedral to celebrate 20 years since the ordination of the first female priests.

Women who were ordained as part of the fundamental change to the Church in 1994 attended, as well as more recently ordained priests.

The Church of England is now under pressure to appoint woman Bishops. In her report Sarah Saunders spoke to The Rev Sarah Chapman and The Rev Eileen Routh.

A special service is being held at Canterbury Cathedral today to mark the twenty year anniversary of women being ordained as priests.

The Canterbury Cathedral Girls Choirs, the first non-male choir there for nearly 1000 years, also performed.
