I found this to be a rather thoughtful essay well worth reading in its entirety. The only observation that I will make is that I am unable to think of any single denomination that adopted female ordination and that did not end up going off a theological cliff, usually within a generation.

As you well know the Episcopalian Church has become very Liberal and Leftist. Witness the Idiot Woman who was the last Bishop of the Church.

I grew up in the Episcopal Church, it was pretty Conservative at one time but at about the same time the Democrat Party made that huge Left turn in 1972 so did the Episcopal Church.

I have rarely stepped foot in one for the last 36 years and have no intention of doing so. It is a lost cause as some many of the other segments of the Protestant Church’s. They have embraced that which seems contradictory to the teachings I grew up with.

As a recovering Episcopalian, I am saddened beyond belief at the state of the Episcopal Church. My only solace is that my parents did not live to see it.

“...to those who reject women’s ordination principally because they are homosexual misogynists.”

How often are Episcoplaian clergy married? Are bishops married or what?

“a lot of the women priests in ACNA have stood side-by-side with a number of our bishops and clergy who are against women’s ordination when they were in the Episcopal Church. These women argued for the right of these bishops to have the freedom to not ordain women.”

I’d have to see it to believe it I guess.

Did you ever watch the Brit comedy the "Vicar of Dibley"?
Theological cliff is a good analogy.
