Anglicans also use Tradition and it too was ignored by TEC when they unilaterally and arbitrarily ordained women. They then went from there to making someone like Elizabeth Cady Stanton a "holy woman" who was a professed atheist because she was a womens' rights activist.Dale Matsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975212053636312471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-66305677420520250462017-04-09T15:33:16.048-04:002017-04-09T15:33:16.048-04:00No matter what is decided, people will leave.

This includes South Carolina. The breaking point would be reached when a woman becomes a bishop.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03553894154841373604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-68487326668504129762017-04-07T19:24:56.408-04:002017-04-07T19:24:56.408-04:00I hope the ACNA has the courage to decide on men o...I hope the ACNA has the courage to decide on men only for the priesthood. There will be those who leave if this is what is decided but if they allow women priests they cannot deny them becoming bishops also.If this is direction they go it will be TEC all over again and another fracture. We have suffered too much to return.

A very large amount of the trouble we're in these days relates directly to closing our eyes to the scientific differences between men and women, and to the scriptural references which recognize those differences.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03553894154841373604noreply@blogger.com
