I may not accept that she is a “Priest” from a doctrinal perspective, but I do recognize her as a child of God, and respect her as such.
IMHO, she did not write this from a doctrinal, Episcopal Priest standpoint as much as she did as an individual who visited our open house...which I felt she made pretty clear. There was no attempt on her part to dwell on or call out the obvious doctrinal differences we have...just to describe pretty much what she experienced and thought of it.
As to our faith being Christian or not...I am grateful it will be Christ Jesus, whom I worship, adore, and who is the author of my Salvation who will make that determination...for He knows the heart and judges us all accordingly as regards our acceptance of His atonement and our discipleship.
You may call it what you wish, but is He whom I profess, and His atonment and sacrifice for my sins...for all of our sins...that I proclaim.

Oh really.

Yes indeed Jeff. Yet Jesus Himself warned us about following false Jesuses. Many will say they did a lot of thing in "his name" and are rejected. So that in itself makes it clear WHO he is is what matters - not just claiming the name of the individual.
Your "Jesus", a junior god of a plethora of gods. Your 'salvation' - based upon your works AFTER ALL YOU CAN DO - contrary to what the bible and even a systematic examination of mormon doctrine states. His 'atonement' - again mormon concept is non-biblical and universal to all - the only difference are the works and ordinances of the individual after all they can do.

After all you can do Jeff - it is in YOUR doctrine. Your doctrine is not Christianity nor is compatable with Christianity - so it becomes absurd to claim to be Christian when your doctrine denies all the key doctrines of Christianity. Really Jeff.

Your witness is countered by far more witnesses to the contrary Jeff, and you would be dishonest to deny it. A "witness" based upon subjective experience is a foundation built upon sand - particularly when you have to ignore all the plainly evident falsehoods built into mormonism. You may whitewash it as you wish - but Jesus wasn't too keen on those who whitewashed things either.
