The path to getting the door opened for women is getting the door opened for ordaining LAITY - both men and omen.
Doesn't a Bishop have the power to decide to whom to delegate his functions of preaching, teaching, administration, presiding at Eucharist and all the rest? 

It's our system of limiting this to 'clerics only' that is the source of our present shortage problems.

We re already moving in this direction. There are laity - both men and women - who are being appointed as parish administrators, chancellors, teachers, spiritual advisors, parochial 'vicars' - or other title. 

'Ordain laity', and soon it will be acknowledged that women are among the laity that can extend the bishop's presence as well as men.
