The Island’s Lord Bishop says he’s disappointed after the Church of England rejected the introduction of women bishops.
Robert Paterson was one of 324 synod members who yesterday (Tuesday) voted in favour of women bishops.
However, a complicated system meant they fell six votes short of making the change.
As church leaders prepare to deal with the fallout, the Bishop denies the decision makes the church less credible:
Further sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Friday's Heysham crossings affected
UK Government under scrutiny over Manx assisted dying legislation
David Lammy has still not made a recommendation that royal assent be granted
Men jailed for £49,000 cocaine ferry importation plot
Manchester duo were part of an organised crime group
Warning in place as hill snow expected overnight
Rain to fall as sleet or snow around 1000ft and above
