This is my reply to a good friend rejoicing in today's vote for women bishops. Well this description of the mixed multitude that is the C of E confirms why I could never be an Anglican. This is a clear example of the culture shaping the church rather than the proper way round, not being conformed to the world. How long before they have homosexual bishops? Of course as a Presbyterian I do not believe in any sex in an order of government higher than elders. Not my monkey, not my nuts.
I know you have strong traditional beliefs Graham. That is what makes life rosier- if we all believed the same thing life would be dull! It reminds me of the orthodox Jews who are not ok with how reform Judaism has moved on ie Jewish ministers.
ReplyDeleteI met a Canon recently. An amazing woman. Far more in touch with womens issues in traditional Catholic circles than her male counterparts.
