Female Bishops

Another quickie...
-------------------------------

DR. ROWAN WILLIAMS & CHRISTINA REES SIT BEHIND A DESK.

ROWAN:
Who is the next candidate Christina.

CHRISTINA:
It’s…(shuffles through papers and hands a sheet to Rowan). Eve Thistledown from Truro.

ROWAN:
(Reads sheet) Oh come on this is ridiculous, there is no way that the Church of England can accept this individual as a Bishop it’s just totally daft.

CHRISTINA:
This is typical of the Church hierarchy reflecting only the traditional views of the General Synod, obstructing progress and continuing the medieval mentality of dogmatic dinosaurs. I demand we accept Eve as a Bishop. We should be proud of the fact that she is a woman!!!!

ROWAN:
And an pixie.

CHRISTINA:
A what?

ROWAN:
A pixie, or more correctly a member of the Native Cornish Faerie folk community. She's not even C of E, it say's that she worships the Queen of the trees.

CHRISTINA:
But she’s still a woman right?

ROWAN:
I suppose so.

CHRISTINA:
Then the same rules apply. No discrimination.

ROWAN:
Agreed. The next candidate is outside. Meryl, come in please.

(O.O.V)
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Not bad, but I think it might be clearer if you tried different faiths instead?

Good point, how about the changed version?
