Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15
Never quite understood why they won’t go by the word “Priestess,” but I guess that’s just me.
I think the explanation is rather simple, actually. TEC is still attractive to some women of naive but sincere women of faith who wish to serve God. In their naivity, they believe that only TEC and a few other churches “get it” about women. Once in the system however, some incident occurs that opens their eyes to whom they have aligned with. For example, they may try to implement some reasonable policy or progam within their parishes and discover that they have inadvertantly crossed someone’s true agenda. Cognitave dissonance is gradually replaced by a realization that these “englightened” progressives are really just manipulative and self-interested, and certainly not Christ-centered. Concurrently some ordained women will pursue theology sincerely, and in the process stray from the assigned reading list and venture into the Fathers and other good books. Eventually, this will lead them to some form of traditional catholicism. Also, I suppose that some may read the reformers and move toward a more traditional protestant denomination, but I am just speculating on this last point.
