Hear, hear! My wife is a Lay Eucharistic Minister at our Episcopal Church, which is led by a female priest. I have no problem with female participation or leadership in the Eucharist at all.
However, I do have a deeply and sincerely held belief that consecrating an abomination as bishop and having a Presiding Bishop who questions Christ's divinity is not the proper approach to leading a Christian denomination. I don't understand why they have to screw up everyone's religion. If they want to be Hi Church Unitarians, well then, go buy vestments and incense and joint the nearest Unitarian coven and leave us Episcopalians to worship the Lord Christ.
Excellent idea. The new Presiding Bishop is beyond a druid. She is a heretic, plain and simple. And it's not just women. Bishop Spong and men of his ilk are heretics also.
Sorry. Every dam that bursts starts to fail with one small leak. I'm a co-founder of a continuing Anglican parish who left the Episcopal church after 57 years - my whole life, in other words. From altar girls to women in the deaconate, from feminists as priests and bishops, to the disposal of our Prayer Book and the ordinations of who knows how many Gene Robinsons, you simply cannot say, this far and no further. Once it starts, you're doomed.
Women can be perfectly good lay readers, chalice bearers, maybe even priests. Never the less, those jobs were not given to them. Who are we to question? There are many important jobs in the church the women do that are vital. Accept the responsibilities God has given you and be grateful.
