Asked what she wanted to say to those Anglican leaders, she shrugged and said, "Get over it."
The leftists are the real dividers, whether in the churches, or in politics.
Do you suppose that this is the reason that the Bible teaches that women are to be quiet in church and they are not to be Pastors?
Her election was an intentional "I dare you to discipline us" slap in the face to the traditional majority in the worldwide Anglican communion
And then she has the gall to say "get over it?"
Good question.
I was raised in the Episcopal church, was an altar boy,, poured the wine and counted noses for the Reverend for Communion. After I went in the service, I remember coming home on leave and my Dad said we had a new Minister, a woman, and a pretty liberal one at that, she was only there a couple years, not everyone in the congregation was enamored of her apparently.
I miss my old ministers, one used to come out and hunt rails on some our marshy land, another was a two fisted drinker, he was always fun at Communion. they're all probably dead by now, but they definitely left impressions of what a minister could be,, I'm not so sure those today understand how far they have strayed from the teachings that used to work just fine for the congregation.
I'm Roman Catholic. There is no doubt that there is a leftist, cafeteria-style Christian movement in all denominations. It is more divisive and dangerous than any other differences.
Universalism moves into the Episcopal church. I have always wondered why the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America never dropped "Lutheran" from its' name since it goes against the grain of so much that Martin Luther taught.
I've not heard that expression, cafeteria-style. I've always called it,"Burger King Religion", that is , "have it your way". LOL
It's Cardinal Ratzinger's (Pope Benedict) term...as in "the cafeteria is closed."
The Episcopal church was pretty much shot anyway, wasn't it?
The gays have taken over my Episcopal church in Mission, KS. Such a shame.
"The Bible is full of stories of the younger son being called and the outsider being called," by God to serve, Jefferts Schori said
Sorry, Honey. You weren't called by God; you were elected (in balloting) by a group of people, probably to further an agenda incompatible with God's.
** Do you suppose that this is the reason that the Bible teaches that women are to be quiet in church and they are not to be Pastors? **
Imagine that!
Catholic doctrine and liturgical laws actually comport with this.
Cafeteria-ism was established by Luther; he got rich selling franchises to many others.
** Her election was an intentional "I dare you to discipline us" slap in the face **
In the grand tradition of Luther.
Do you guys know why you don't see a lot of Episcopalians playing chess anymore?
It's because thay can no longer distiguish a Bishop....

From a Queen. (Ba-dum, crash!)
Martin Luther didn't start the Lutheran Church.. those after him(others) did..
That being said, for what it's worth, I believe we are in a time when Christians, Jews and just plain Americans of all stripes need to put aside our differences--both small and large, real and imagined, past and present--and circle the wagons. As everyone here knows, we're facing a determined, intelligent, patient and utterly ruthless enemy coming from the middle east.
Here in America, we're so overloaded with our many distractions, and we get so readily into pissing contests with one another at the drop of a hat, we're in danger of overlooking the real thing.
Let's not. Let's focus on getting our large, clumsy and often corrupt government to perform its most central responsibility: to protect us from these unorthodox, guerilla dangers. And the first step is for we citizens to identify the real enemies.
If we start doing it, even the democrats may take the hint and join in.
OK, lost my head there. But that only means it's even more important for us to do the job.
My church is pulling out of the Vineyard movement because they have decided that it is okay to have women pastors.
My pastor thinks that having women pastors is un-Biblical.
I think my pastor is right.
