This is generally a persuasive analysis, but apparently I've missed a very important debate. That would be the one where everybody searched Scripture and found why women should be ordained. The good Bishop here apparently takes agreement for granted, which is very much the pose that ECUSA and ACC are taking with regard to homosexual ordination. Sounds like the one has led to the other but Bishop +Lee is entirely deaf to that.

Are we going to be forced across the Tiber?

In Christ,
Deacon Paul+

Deacon Paul+, when reading this I was wondering whether people were going to pick up on this (to me) discordant point. I'm glad you did. My understanding was that the ordination issue was introduced as a "trial" issue, one that just never quite got a review. The only explanation I would have for this is that, if I have it correctly, Bishop Lee comes from a rather liberal diocese/province (South Africa).

Are we going to be forced across the Tiber?

Or the Bosphorus? I don't know.
