The consecration of the Church of England's first woman bishop was met with a lone voice of protest at York Minister.
在約克教堂，英格蘭國教首位女主教的祝圣儀式遭到一個孤零零的抗議聲。
The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, asked the congregation of nearly 2,000 whether it was "now your will that she should be ordained?"
約克大主教約翰·圣塔穆博士向將近2000人提出這樣的問題：“現在是否是授予她圣職的時刻？”
Most shouted: "It is". But one man, Rev Paul Williamson, stood and called out: "No, it's not in the bible".
大部分喊道：“是的！”但是還是有一個人——萊?！けＡ_·威廉姆遜——站出來，大聲叫道：“不，《圣經》里沒有（女子被授予圣職）?！?/div>
"With respect, Your Grace, I ask to speak on this absolute impediment, please," he continued.
他接著說：“尊敬的閣下，我請求詳細闡述阻止的原因?！?/div>
Despite the interruption, the consecration of the Reverend Libby Lane as the eighth Bishop of Stockport continued.
麗比·萊恩教士被授予斯托克波特第八位主教的祝圣儀式盡管被打斷，但還是繼續進行。
Rev Williamson later told Sky News: "I felt a marker should be put down to say clearly to everybody that a female bishop is not found in the bible."
萊?！けＡ_·威廉姆遜事后向Sky新聞說：“我感覺向每個人說清楚《圣經》里找不到女性主教是有必要的?！?/div>
He added: "The lord Jesus Christ made a very deliberate choice of those who were to carry on his work."
他又加了一句：“耶穌基督在選誰去承擔他的工作時是非常謹慎的。”
A Church of England spokesman described Rev Williamson as a "serial protester".
英格蘭教會發言人將萊?！けＡ_·威廉姆遜描述為一個“一系列抗議者”。
The spokesman said they were expecting him to attend, adding: "He's got the right to protest but the contrast was between a lone voice protesting and a sea of voices affirming."
這位發言人說他們希望他參加祝圣儀式，因為 “他有抗議的權利，但這是一個孤零零的抗議聲和排山倒海的肯定聲之間的差距。”
Rev Williamson previously protested the marriage of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
萊?！けＡ_·威廉姆遜先前也曾抗議威爾士王子和康沃爾公爵夫人的婚姻。
Rev Lane was named as the new bishop last month in a move ending centuries of all-male leadership in the Church.
萊恩女教士是在上個月被任命為新主教的，這一舉動結束了數個世紀以來教會的領導者皆為男性的狀況。
The announcement came after the General Synod formally adopted legislation allowing women bishops.
而宣布萊恩主教正式任職的公告緊隨教會總會正式批準允許女性擔任主教的法案之后。
During the service she spoke to affirm and declare her belief in the faith and swore oaths of allegiance and canonical obedience.
在祝圣儀式中，萊恩主教莊嚴宣布她的信仰，并宣誓效忠，遵守教規。
