C of E: revisionist splinter-group?

I think we evangelicals should perhaps take more seriously than we sometimes have the argument of our Anglo-Catholic brethren that to consecrate women to the episcopate would be to step outside the tradition of the Catholic church.

Since the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox and Evangelicals (mainly!) do not have women in the most senior positions of ecclesiastical leadership, the C of E will be clearly and visibly aligning herself in this way with the liberal revisionist rump if she goes down this line.

It would be interesting to know the stats on numbers of Christians and churches that would advocate women bishops?
