Yet theological diversity has long been accepted within the Church of England. For instance, though for decades there has been official acceptance that women can validly be ordained, people are still free to argue against this. Indeed, the Church of Englsnd has tied itself in knots to try to accommodate the small minority opposed to women’s ordination. Again, the notion that Christ’s death was the work of a wrathful Father goes against official church doctrine, but those who argue for this view have not been barred from becoming bishops.
