Once you allow women as deacons the next slippery slope is women priests and pastors. The next step is usually women bishops. And the final step is the ordination of open homosexuals. When a denomination is more concerned about secular humanism than biblical truth the results are almost always paganism influencing the church rather than the church influencing paganism. Incredibly, the Church of England voted for the time being against the consecration of women bishops. For now at least the attack on traditional biblical values has been stymied.
Several figures in the British parliament are now calling for the repeal of the C of E's exemptions from equality legislation so women can bring legal challenges. So it may yet be forced into this before it can do anything...
