Church in Wales backs women bishops
Women bishops will be allowed in the Church in Wales following a landmark yes vote.
Bishops within the Church tabled a bill calling for the change and it was finally accepted by its governing body after a previous vote in 2008 narrowly failed.
There were huge cheers in the hall as the result was announced.
In England, the issue is due to be discussed again in November. Ireland and Scotland both allow female bishops.
