the church is so lost...in apostasy..most of it.
What is 81% of irrelevancy?
Over the last 10 years I have seem hordes of Anglicans/Episcopalians, both men and women, leave their churches and join Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 34Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 36What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 38But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Certainly not on the issue of not ordaining women.

I guess this means that there will soon be lesbian bishops in the Anglican Church.
Very sad.
The personal sins of Bishops apart ... floor of Hell paved with their skulls and all that ... this development illustrates conclusively that the Church of England’s theology of the Eucharist, as well as the Incarnation, is irredeemably flawed.
Sorry. Whole thing is off.
Not one priest can be found in all the New Testament. Other than the Lord Jesus Himself.
It is a Jewish practice that ended when our High Priest came in the flesh and made all believers priests.....
Flame away.....
I can tell you exactly what he thinks. He’s thinking it’s all a giant fraud, but one that continues to furnish him with social status and a comfortable living. He knows he’s a sellout counting the days to retirement and occasionally wonders if he’ll have a functioning conscience by then. He is starting not to care. He’s very busy and important you know, and has many busy and important people to keep up with.
Yes, I know exactly what he’s thinking.
My best friend for 30 years was/is an ecusa rector of a large endowment church. He has an island too (are you in Maine?). He broke off his friendship with me when I became engaged to the now Mrs Romulus, a convert from the ecusa who let him know her views. He took it very poorly indeed.
true i suppose..but there are plenty of women that would do a better job than some of the weak priests of today.
There is only one Law for the Priesthood and that is found in the Torah. Priests are to marry and the Kohen ha Gadol or High Priest HAD to be maried to officiate on Yom Kippur etc.. What you are actually seeing is the result of forsaking the Torah ; you end up 180 degrees opposite the Word of G-d. Don’t go with the flow. Return to Torah and Know the L-rd.
But then protestants are like that, a lot.
In case I was not clear, I am Catholic. I am not in favor of ordination of women.
