The Enneagram and Its Implications
Organizational Perspectives on Stained Glass Ceilings for Female Bishops in the Anglican Communion: A Case Study of the Church of England Judy Rois University of Toronto and the Anglican Foundation of Canada Daphne Rixon Saint Mary’s University Alex Faseruk Memorial University of Newfoundland The purpose of this study is to document how glass ceilings, known in an ecclesiastical setting as stained glass ceilings, are being encountered by female clergy within the Anglican Communion. The study applies the stained glass ceiling approach developed by Cotter et al. (2001) to examine the organizational structures and ordination practices in not only the Anglican Communion but various other Christian denominations. The study provides an in depth examination of the history of female ordination within the Church of England through the application of managerial paradigms as the focal point of this research. INTRODUCTION In the article, “Women Bishops: Enough Waiting,” from the October 19, 2012 edition of Church Times, the Most Rev. Dr. Rowan Williams, then Archbishop of Canterbury, urged the Church of England in its upcoming General Synod scheduled for November 2012 to support legislation that would allow the English Church to ordain women as bishops (Williams, 2012). Williams had been concerned about the Church of England’s inability to pass resolutions that would allow these ordinations. As the spiritual head of the Anglican Communion of approximately 77 million people worldwide, Williams had witnessed the ordination of women to the sacred offices of bishop, priest and deacon in many parts of the communion. Ordinations allowed women in the church to overcome glass ceilings in certain ministries, but also led to controversy and divisiveness in other parts of the church, although the Anglican Communion has expended significant resources in both monetary terms and opportunity costs to deal with the ordination of women to sacred offices, specifically as female bishops. -

Such is the hope of many great philosophers and spiritual directors. I am sure none anticipated, nor desired, that such interesting times would be to undertake the development of influenza pandemic preparedness plans. Sadly, history teaches us, and most recently the SARS event of 2003, compels us as a community of faith to anticipate and prepare for, as best we are able, profound events of disease and illness. Being called as Christians to be good stewards of God’s creation, requires us to bring together our resources of science, medicine and social services so as to develop an appropriate template or protocol which might assist the Diocese of Toronto in responding to the implications and impact of a influenza pandemic. Under the direction of Bishop Colin Johnson, a working group was called together charged with the responsibility of developing this pandemic response plan. -

Andrew Asbil, rector of St. James Cathedral and dean of Toronto, has been elected coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of Toronto. He will become the 12th Bishop of Toronto when Archbish- op Colin Johnson, who currently holds the position, retires at the end of the year. “I am overwhelmed,” he said to about 600 Synod members after his election at the cathedral on June 9. “And I am humbled. To my core. Never in a million years would I have imagined this moment. But I am deeply grateful for it.” Bishop-elect Asbil, 57, was elect- ed on the third ballot, ahead of Bishop Victoria Matthews, the for- mer diocesan bishop of Christch- urch, New Zealand and a former suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Toronto. The other nominees in the elec- tion were Bishop Jenny Andison, the area bishop of York-Credit Valley; the Rev. Canon David Harrison, the incumbent of St. Mary Magdalene, Toronto; Bishop Kevin Robertson, the area bishop of York-Scarborough; and Bishop Riscylla Shaw, the area bishop of Bishop-elect Andrew Asbil receives applause from his wife Mary and Synod members after his election at St. James Cathedral.
