ANGLICAN Church leaders will meet in Harrogate this weekend to debate two proposals.
The Ripon and Leeds Diocesan Synod will meet at St Aidan's School, in Harrogate, on Saturday, where it will consider a motion calling for plans to allow women to become bishops to be introduced sooner.
A working party is not due to report back on the matter until next July.
It has also been suggested that a Bishop of Richmond post is created to replace the retiring Bishop of Knaresborough, the Right Reverend Frank Weston.
The post would allow the Bishop of Ripon and Leeds to concentrate on the south of the diocese.
