The Episcopal Church must “expose and oppose gender violence and all forms of inequality in our midst,” according to the Committee on the Status of Women. The committee, whose mission is “to support and advise the Presiding Bishop on matters affecting the participation of women in the Church,” has proposed seven resolutions in its Blue Book report to General Convention.

When was there ever institutional "gender violence" in the Episcopal Church? I never heard of it. That is just NONSENSE. What on earth are these people on that Committee on the Status of women talking about?

Since when has the word EQUALITY been changed from EQUITY? Men and women can't be equal because they aren't the same. With Mary the status of women was elevated beyond all possible means. She is the model we ought to emulate.
How much more "equal" to these committee members want women? Women are priests and bishops. Isn't that enough? What more is there? Will they be happy when the Archbishop of Cantebury is a woman? You KNOW that won't do make them satisfied. Their unhappiness is way to deep for that.
How can they be happy with MORE when they're not happy with what they have? They are unsatiable because the holes in their souls can only be filled with Jesus.....and they won't let Him in. They are too busy with this committee.

Personal opinion: I think that the Committee on the Status of Women has its head problems: head in the clouds, head in the sand or head up the butt.

[John Locke]

With Mary the status of women was elevated beyond all possible means.

The church teaches that Mary was conceived immaculately, but Joseph was conceived in sin. This is a disgusting example of sexist gender violence that must be eradicated at once. All members of ECUSA must campaign for the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Joseph.
