Bennison Weighs In [the bishop and the alleged ordained pagans]

My grandfather was a Episcopal minister, and a true conservative. I am a Wiccan priest and have my own small group I have practiced with for many years. I know that he and many good people would disapprove of my decisions. I think he and I would agree however, that these are two very different religions and a person could not be both a druid priest and a Episcopal minister. The Episcopal church has become a joke, but at least I have had enough respect for it never to try to try anything like this. If a person wants to follow a alternative religion that is between them and the divine. A minister has an obligation to their congregation and the oaths they have taken before God. You can't walk two different roads at the same time.
