When did the Church of England get its first woman bishop?

1994
2004
2014
2024

The correct answer is: 2014

The first woman bishop in the Church of England was appointed in 2014, marking a significant milestone in the church's history and its progression towards gender equality in leadership roles. This development followed years of discussion and debate within the church about the role of women in the clergy. The decision to allow women to become bishops was formalized in legislation approved earlier that year, allowing Libby Lane to be consecrated as the Bishop of Stockport. This event symbolized a shift in the church's approach to gender and clerical authority, paving the way for further advancements in this area. The other years listed do not correspond to the first appointment of a woman bishop, as women were not ordained as bishops until the changes were enacted and realized in 2014.
