The "theology of taint" is a term used in association with belief that a succession of male-only bishops and priests should be maintained within the Church of England.〔(''Daily Telegraph'' website )〕 The term is predominately used by those who oppose this view. An action associated with the theology of taint is when male bishops who have previously ordained women as priests are excluded from the laying on of hands during ordinations. The phrase was notably used, in church and mainstream media, when the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, announced that he would not be laying hands on Philip North during his ordination as the Bishop of Burnley scheduled for 2 February 2015.〔(Archbishop of York website. )〕 This concession is notable because: *John Sentamu laid hands in the ordination of the first woman bishop in the Church of England, Libby Lane, on 26 January 2015〔(BBC website. )〕 *Philip North is not being ordained as a provincial episcopal visitor ("flying bishop")〔(''Church Times'' website )〕 *Philip North would have responsibility for women priests as part of his ministry as Bishop of Burnley ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theology of taint」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
