LONDON (Reuters) ? The Church of England must follow through on plans to ordain women bishops, its spiritual head said on Friday, as talks on the issue that have divided the church were set to re-open.
In his first address to its national assembly, the General Synod, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said the Church must adapt to a changing society in which congregation numbers are falling in many increasingly secular countries.
?Let?s be clear, pretending that nothing has changed is absurd and impossible. In times of revolution we too in the Church of England must have a revolution,? said Welby, a former oil executive who was named successor to Rowan Williams as the head of the Anglican church in late 2012.
In November, reforms to allow women bishops fell at the final hurdle. Despite receiving support from 73 percent of Synod members, a vote narrowly failed to attain the necessary two-thirds majority in one of the Synod?s three houses.
Bespectacled and with his dog-collared clerical shirt rolled up to the elbows, Welby told the Synod at the University of York that the Church must get rid of its ?baggage? after it came under sharp criticism in November for failing to push through gender reforms.
?If we say we will ordain women as priests and bishops, we must do so in exactly the same way as we ordain men,? he said.
On Monday, the Synod will take the first tentative steps to restart talks on the issue, but the full process will take around two years, meaning female bishops would not be permitted in the Church until 2015 at the earliest.
The archbishop looked to placate reformists as well as conservative factions, talking about healing the mistrust in the Church and not directly mentioning the issue of women bishops until over halfway through his speech.
While he is supportive of female bishops, Welby has opposed bills for gay marriage, with the first civil ceremonies in England and Wales set to be carried out in the spring next year. But he said he was ?appalled? by homophobic behavior.
?We may or may not like it, but we must accept that there is a revolution in the area of sexuality,? he said.
A positive debate on Monday on the issue of women bishops would be a boost for Welby, as he looks to make his mark as the spiritual head of the 80 million-member Anglican church.
The Church approved the ordination of women priests in 1992, but delayed making them bishops because of opposition within its previously all-male clergy. Bishops play a key role in many Christian churches where only they can ordain new clergy.

BOSTON (AP) ? Police in Brazil seized passports belonging to a mother and her 6-year-old daughter, stranding them in South America amid an international child custody dispute with the child's father, the woman says.
Shauna Hadden, a 33-year-old social worker from Agawam, Mass., said the trip was meant for her daughter Ava Machado to reconnect with the father she hadn't seen in more than three years. The mother, who works for the state Department of Children and Families, said a Massachusetts court gave her full custody of Ava after the couple's divorce in 2009.
But she and her family said her trip took an unexpected turn while she and her daughter were on the way to visit Ava's father, 32-year-old Donizete Machado. After flying to Rio de Janeiro in late May, Hadden got a phone call from a friend in Brazil who knows both mother and father warning her not to make the last flight to meet Machado, her mother, Linda Hadden, said Friday.
The friend said that Machado had plans to keep Ava and that the two shouldn't make the rest of the trip, for which Machado had already bought the tickets, according to Linda Hadden. Instead of taking a flight to southern Brazil to meet Machado, her daughter and granddaughter flew north to stay with friends in the northeastern city of Fortaleza.
But June 6, federal police came to them with a court order and took both passports, according to Ava's maternal grandmother, who said her daughter gave up the travel documents because she was scared Brazilian authorities were going to take Ava.
A Brazilian judge turned down Machado's request for full custody of Ava but said authorities wouldn't give back the passports until the father had a supervised visit with the child, according to the grandmother.
On Friday, a lawyer for Machado confirmed the passports were confiscated after the father's legal request and said the case would be dropped as soon as the mother agreed to let Ava meet her father.
It's common in Brazil for officials to confiscate the passports of parents if a judge feels there is a chance that a mother or father may try to take a child out of the country without the other parent's permission.
Besides having no passports, the mother and daughter have been put on a no-fly list by Brazilian authorities, Linda Hadden said.
Alessandro Saraiva, a Brazilian federal court spokesman, said he couldn't provide details because the case involves a minor and falls under secrecy laws. Brazil's federal police declined to comment. The U.S. Embassy in Brasilia would confirm only that Hadden is in Fortaleza and is receiving consular services.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Richard Neal, both of Massachusetts, say they've been trying to intervene in an effort to get mother and daughter back to the United States.
Lawyer Isabel Feijo also alleged that Hadden never intended to allow the father to meet Ava ? and instead left the U.S. planning to travel to the city of Fortaleza to meet a man she met online.
Feijo said Hadden and her former husband had agreed that he would pay for her and Ava's tickets to visit him in the town where he lives in southern Brazil, because he wanted to introduce his daughter to his family and friends.
The lawyer said Hadden agreed to travel with Ava to Brazil and arrived in Rio de Janeiro on May 21. The following day, Feijo said, Hadden was supposed to travel to the city of Florianopolis, where Machado would meet them, and then travel to the town of Criciuma, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) to the southeast.
"But she never showed up in Florianopolis, because she had already planned with her boyfriend in Fortaleza to go from Rio de Janeiro to Fortaleza in the northeast," said Feijo.
Feijo said that the return flight for Hadden and her daughter was scheduled for June 11. But because Hadden had not met with Machado by June 8, the lawyer filed the legal request that day to block the woman and her daughter from leaving Brazil.
The lawyer said that Feijo does not want custody of the daughter and that he's made that clear.
"He wants her to visit him and his family, and if the mother agrees to that, the request to seize the passport will immediately be withdrawn, we'll drop the case," Feijo said Friday.
She said that eventually, Machado would like to see his daughter once a year. The Brazilian lawyer also confirmed that Machado, who works as a house painter, had been expelled from the U.S. because he entered the country illegally through Mexico.
In an email to The Associated Press on Friday, Shauna Hadden said she and her daughter are stressed and want to come home.
"Ava is tired and having a hard time," she said.

Though ESPN 3D's imminent demise might be evidence to some that 3D TV isn't exactly killing it, BBC has confirmed that it will cover Wimbledon again this year with that extra dimension. In particular, it will broadcast selected matches, including the men's and women's finals and semi-finals, in free-to-air 3D for those with the Red Button service and supported sets. Wimbledon marked its first-ever 3D broadcast two years ago, and the BBC is also experimenting with 4K coverage this year with Sony, albeit exclusively at a live spectator "experience zone" on the finely manicured grounds. The network also said it would up its live streams from six to ten to go with its YouTube coverage -- meaning UKers who miss a single grunt will have only themselves to blame.
