The first women priests were finally ordained two years later, in March 1994.
The arguments against female ordination stemmed largely from interpretations of verses in the Bible.

The first women priests in the Church of England were ordained on March 12, 1994.
One sniping priest claimed that the first 32 women priests were a 'new order of transvestites'.
