The Church of England has announced that the Rev. Canon Alison White will be consecrated as its second female bishop since the Church voted last year to allow women to become bishops.The announcement was made just hours before the BBC reported that Rachel Treweek, the archdeacon of Hackney in the diocese of London, will become the new Bishop of Gloucester. "Two women bishops have already been appointed, but Archdeacon Treweek, 52, is the first woman to run a diocese and will be one rank below archbishop," the BBC reported Thursday. " It is understood she will also become the first female bishop to enter the House of Lords."

White, a 58-year-old who was ordained a priest in 1994, will be made the bishop of Hull in a ceremony scheduled for July 3. The Rt. Rev. Martin Wharton, the recently retired bishop of Newcastle, the diocese where Rev. White presently serves as priest-in-charge, said in a statement that he's "thrilled" by the news. "I am thrilled that Alison's priestly and personal gifts have been recognized by the wider church and believe she will be an outstanding bishop who will quickly endear herself to the people of Hull and the East Riding," stated Wharton.

"As the second woman to be appointed bishop in the Church of England, we rejoice with her and pray for her."

Your interpretation is wrong.

1 Timothy 3:1-2 'if a man (not a woman) desires the office of a bishop, he (not she) desires a good work. A bishop must be blameless, husband of one wife (not wife of one husband)........ They can do whatever the will to do but God's word still stands sure.
