Humor: The Anglican Blue (by Huber)

Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

[doc1019]

The Bible says in 1Timothy 3:2 that bishops and elders should be a "husband of one wife". Indicates that bishops (preachers, and leaders of Christian churches) and elders of the church should be men.

Agree or disagree with God’s proclamation, it is God’s proclamation and therefore sacrosanct.

I appreciate Canon Heidt's arguments from natural law--he sounds very much like C. S. Lewis in his essay "Priestesses in the Church."

I think he's absolutely right that a priest, as a representative of the real man Jesus, cannot be a woman. Lewis maintained that it may well be possible for a woman to represent the Church to God, but not God to the Church. A big part of a priest's job is to model Christ to His Church...and that cannot be done by a woman.
