Ethics Daily is reporting that the Church of England just voted to allow women to serve as Bishops.
Progress has been slow. It has taken the Anglican Church 90 years to determine that women can serve as more than priests.
Meanwhile, in the year 2000 the Southern Baptist Convention stepped backwards by about 100 years on the issue of women in ministry.
Sooner or later, a day will come when all free and faithful Christians will regard the church's sexism with the same shame that it remembers its racism and support for slavery.

And how long before it becomes ashamed of its heterosexism and homophobia? Of its blind support for war, capital punishment, and other violence?
