Gender Equality In The Church Of England

EDM number 767 in 2002-03, proposed by Ann Cryer on 25/02/2003.

That this House recognises and pays tribute to the life and achievements of Monica Furling, author and journalist, who died on 14th January; celebrates her commitment to gender equality in the Church of England; calls on the Government to amend the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 to remove the exemption of religious bodies from the provisions of the Act; and calls on the established church to cease forthwith its present discrimination against women priests and accept the need for women bishops.

This motion has been signed by a total of 107 MPs.
