The Church of England has voted to overturn centuries of tradition and allow women to become bishops. Women could now be ordained by the end of the year. It also means the next Archbishop of Canterbury,a who is spiritual leader of the global Anglican Communion,
could be a woman. The US has had women bishops since 1988, and South Africa and Swaziland have one each. However, two African Anglican provinces, Nigeria and Central Africa, do not consecrate women to any position.
