No controlling women ! So the bible teaches,

The law of equality this now definitely breaches.

A knife-edged vote causing  a massive rift,

Just at a time when the church needed a lift.

The truth is without women bishops, the church will have lost its verve,

And no longer in a position for the people to serve.

Turmoil and sadness on this breaking news.

National embarrassment more empty pews.

The problems of the nation require a gentle loving touch'

A parish controlled by a woman it desired so much.

The bible was written many many moons ago,

Sanctioning women bishops would have been the right way to go.
