Women's ordination has been a disaster for ECUSA. If our current PB is typical of female priests they are power mad intellectually slippery theologians who twist the gospel every which way to support their personal agenda. Rather than unilaterally breaking the canons and forcing WO on us there should have been much more of our much vaunted but little practiced talking going on first.
The same is true of the homosexual question. The only talk the lefties want to hear is talk that agrees with them.

Breaking the "cannons?" Is that like beating swords into plowshares?

I don't know if women's ordination has been a disaster for ECUSA, but I do know of a priest, who has since passed away, who told us, he opposed the ordination of women when it came up in the '70's, not because he felt women shouldn't be priests, but because none of the arguments he heard for it included women claiming to have felt called to the priesthood.

Miriam, Rahab, Deborah, and Ruth are just some fine OT examples of women forsaking all to follow the will of God Almighty. Why should today be any different? Rome is way behind the rest of the world as it pertains to women priests and married men being ordained. Just another reason why I feel so strong to convert to the EC.
