I recall that a former head of the NAACP - Benjamin Chaves? - declared himself a Christian and a Moslem at the same time and was forced out. It is nonsense to state that you can faithfully belong to two different religions.

“..she is both Muslim and Christian, will not be able to serve as a priest for a year..”
Why is she still called and Epicopalian? Pretty lenient sentence.

“Some also saw Redding’s announcement as another sign that the Episcopal Church was veering too far away from Scripture, doctrine and tradition”

She is foolish to believe that she can worship
the Elohim of Israel and at the same time
worship Allah, who is haSatan.

Kudos to the Rt. Rev. Geralyn Wolf.
My Parish Priest had his hold orders removed about ten years back, for refusing to break off a relationship with a married woman. So it can happen.

I think she flunks the reason test, as well.

She believes she has not violated any of her baptismal or ordination vows.
That's what whats-his-name, that Episcopal priest a couple years ago who turned Druid, said.
"since entering Islam," she said, "I have been, by my own estimation, a better teacher, a better preacher and a better Christian."
Yeah, right.

Then there's the very old ditty, as follows...
Roses are reddish,
Violets are blueish
If it wasn't for Jesus
We'd all be Jewish..

What a flippin’ idiot! Islam doctrinally denies the divinity of Jesus Christ. It claims that the crucifxion and Resurrection of Christ were both frauds and this idiot ‘priestess’ thinks she can be both Episcopalian and muslim?? She’s lost.

The Rev. Ann Holmes Redding, a local Episcopal priest who announced
she is both Muslim and Christian, will not be able to serve as a
priest for a year, according to her bishop.
I'm suprised the Episcopalian Church would be harsly....
....JUDGEMENTAL!!!
I suspect the head honchos view Ms. Holmes fence-straddling as
"insurance fraud"...trying to avoid being burned alive (more likely
decaptiated) by Muslims in this life...
and having "fire insurance" for the afterlife by virtue of her
Christian "identity".

Kudos to the Seattle Times, for covering this news story merely factually, without portraying her as a victim.

Episcopal Church was veering too far away from Scripture, doctrine and tradition. Their stool is scripture, tradition and reason
Our local loons changed that to "scripture, reason, and experience", the better to mislead the inattentive and lukewarm.
And poor Richard Hooker never said anything of the sort, anyhow. They just made it up out of a statement in the Ecclesiastical Polity where he said that Scripture is paramount, then tradition, and when BOTH those are silent, ONLY THEN may one resort to reason.
