The Priests (Ordination of Women) Measure 1993 (No. 2) is a Church of England measure passed by the General Synod of the Church of England enabling the ordination of women in the Church of England. [1]
Both Queen's Consent and Prince's Consent were required to pass the Measure. [2]
It was repealed by Bishops and Priests (Consecration and Ordination of Women) Measure 2014 [3] which enabled the ordination of women as bishops and re-enabled the ordination of women as priests.
To protect those in the Church of England who could not accept the ordination of women as priests, two resolutions were provided. [4]
