Good for the CoE!
The Church of Scotland will never have female Bishops because the position was abolished during the late 17th century.
Position of women in the Kirk taken from Wikipedia:
"Since 1968, all ministries and offices in the church have been open to women and men on an equal basis. In 2004 a woman was chosen to be Moderator of the General Assembly. Alison Elliot was also the first non-minister to be chosen since George Buchanan, four centuries before. In May 2007 the Rev Sheilagh M. Kesting became the first female minister to be Moderator. There are currently 218 serving female ministers, with 677 male ministers."
