Anglican church debates role of female clergy
The Anglican church could set up a 'male clergy only' branch under proposals aimed at ending the row over whether women can be bishops.
The new province, with its own archbishop, is one of several options set out in the Church of England report which was published on Tuesday.
Another option was to continue to allow women as priests but ban them from being ordained as bishops.
A decision over how to resolve the row is expected to be taken next summer.
