"I noticed the comment in the homily that supposedly right before ECUSA GC 06 President Ford told his priest he didn't think questions about women in the priesthood, and homosexuality should be any reason for schism in the Church."

I'm going to cut President Ford a bit of slack. I remember him commenting in the late 1970's about how the church had been taken over by liberals. It has been a long time ago, but I think that his comments were directed specifically at the National Cathedral, the new "Prayerbook", and female clergy. At the same time he was supporting the completion of construction of the National Cathedral.

I suspect you are correct...and the (liberal) priest was distorting Ford to beat the drum for his cause of peace...with heresy. No one wants schism in the church--but it is the heretics, not those faithful to scripture, who cause it.

I mainly thought it was significant that it was brought up in President Ford's funeral homily, as it tells me how very worried liberal Episcopalians are over the issue.
