The Bishop of Bristol said the General Synod’s failure to approve draft legislation for the first female bishops was “disastrous”.

"My prayers are with the many people who are hurting, particularly women in our churches and those within and outside the Church who are bemused and disillusioned by such a failure", the Bishop said.
