A plaque marking the day when the Church of England ordained its first women priests is being replaced because it only mentioned the male clergy who attended the ceremony. The Times reported that the names of the 32 women who made history at Bristol Cathedral in 1994 were not included on the plaque, which each woman had contributed £15 towards. The new version will include the name of Angela Berners-Wilson, the first woman to be ordained. Berners-Wilson described the plaque fiasco as “very Church of England”.
