WATCH (Women and the Church) is campaigning to see women take their place alongside men as bishops and at every level in the Church of England. This requires the removal of current legal obstacles to the consecration of women as bishops. WATCH believes that the full equality of women and men is part of God's will for the Church and for the world, and reflects the inclusive heart of the Christian scripture and tradition.

Join WATCH
WATCH is campaigning for women to be bishops on a par with their male colleagues. We are working closely with various groups, including Parliamentary colleagues, to make this a reality. Now is the time to join WATCH, and to get a friend to join as well: the more members, the more effectively we campaign, and the sooner we will all belong to a Church that values women and men equally.
