'Not in the Bible'Vicar Interupts Concentration Of First Female Bishop In The Church Of England

 
The Reverend Libby Lane became the Bishop of Stockport in a service conducted by the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu.
The historic event was briefly interrupted by the appearance of an ultra-conservative priest shouting 'Not in the Bible' as she was presented to the congregation.

A Church of England spokesman identified the man as Rev Paul Williamson, and described him as a 'serial protester' who had been expected to attend.
He said: 'He's got the right to protest but the contrast was between a lone voice protesting and a sea of voices affirming.'

Mrs Lane, an Oxford-educated mother of two, was appointed as a bishop last month, in a historic move which ends five centuries of all-male leadership in the church.
That announcement came just weeks after the General Synod formally adopted legislation allowing women to take the role, following years of furious debate on the issue.
