Bishop of Lincoln John Saxbee said was faced with one of the most difficult decisions of his life. A veteran of the Guildford group, which had been unanimously for women bishops but struggled with the letter of interpretation, his instincts led him to the 'simplest route' but he wanted a situation where the different sides were 'in trust with each other.' He quoted Tanya of East Enders: 'Where there is no trust there is no relationship' and said: 'With Tanya's marital difficulties, she should know.' So he supported the spirit of the amendment... and yet..... he would like to see a code and have a better idea of how pastoral provision would work before synod made a final decision
