Women's Ordination in the Anglican Communion

This will give you a clear idea to what extent the Anglican Communion accepts the ordination of women. The stats are only as of February 2004.

There are only eight Anglican provinces that outrightly refuse to ordain women to all three Holy Orders (deacon, priest, bishop):

Central Africa
Jerusalem and the Middle East
Korea
Melanesia
Nigeria
Papua New Guinea
Southeast Asia
Tanzania

There are four provinces that ordain women only to the diaconate:

Indian Ocean
Southern Cone (in South America)
Congo
Pakistan

All the other Anglican provinces ordain women to the priesthood.
