Women bishops: Church backs plan to fast-track scheme
The Church of England's governing body has backed legislation which could see the first woman bishop appointed by the end of the year.
The general synod has agreed to cut the time it would consult with its 44 dioceses on the legislation from six months to three.
The move could lead to final approval of the legislation in July and it could come into force by November.
