It seems to me that she's trying to answer this question: Do non-Christians have any experience of God? And she wants to answer: yes. She does so by pointing to experiences that might be emblematic of common grace in any life (the gift of relationships, etc.), and saying that Christians recognize these as somehow Jesus's work.<BR/><BR/>No? If not, how would you all speak about God's relationship to non-Christians?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-1162588288540181652006-11-03T16:11:00.000-05:002006-11-03T16:11:00.000-05:00Albion,I'm glad you found my blog "interesting" - ...Albion,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you found my blog "interesting" - I'll wait for more specific feedback to see if that's a good thing or not! :-)<BR/><BR/>At any rate, I have an acute interest in Anglicanism and specifically the Continuing Anglican communities. Though my motives are likely offencive to most Anglicans, not everyone thinks of them that way. I am a great advocate of Catholic Ĺ’cumenism and would love to see more effort to reconcile the Anglicans to the Holy See.<BR/><BR/>The problem is that for Anglicans to become Roman Catholic they have to adopt a Protestant liturgy!

She said the opposition to her was a "very small minority". I believe entire dioceses pulling out is far more than a "very small minority". In our local paper today (which had an interview with her) she never once commented on any goals of a nature of bringing converts into the Christian faith. When asked what she wanted to say to Anglicans who oppose her, she said: "Get over it."ACC Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427983663787892734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-1162558296747890232006-11-03T07:51:00.000-05:002006-11-03T07:51:00.000-05:00"I am not even sure that she recognises Jesus as G..."I am not even sure that she recognises Jesus as God".<BR/><BR/>No, I think she doesn't.<BR/><BR/>"Human experiences..."<BR/>"Human relationships..." <BR/>AND NOTHING ELSE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-1162489117764333822006-11-02T12:38:00.000-05:002006-11-02T12:38:00.000-05:00ed - you've got it.ed - you've got it.Jerome+ OSJVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18105866237803134893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-1162488384259699682006-11-02T12:26:00.000-05:002006-11-02T12:26:00.000-05:00Well spoken, poet reader.

By choosing to be "ordained", she affirms that she doesn't believe in the Holy Bible as being the word of God, and makes it clear she intends to violate the clear teachings of the Holy Bible. Father John Wesley once said: To allow that the Bible has even one error invalidates it all. This is a paraphrase (I don't have the exact quote in front of me at present). But his point is clear.ACC Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427983663787892734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-1162482891996213562006-11-02T10:54:00.000-05:002006-11-02T10:54:00.000-05:00I think what Fr.

Jerome means is that bending the practice of the church in an essentially pagan direction opens the way to scrapping of all Christian distinctiveness. In that sense I would find his comment an incisive analysis of the root of the problem.<BR/><BR/>I do not find his thought irrelevant.<BR/><BR/>Ms. Schori is at least being consistent in that her praxis and her doctrine appear to be of a piece. Her acceptance of this world's standards in sexuality and in other things, leads inexorably to a theology in accord with this world's thinking.<BR/><BR/>tis it is that what she is preaching is not Christianity.<BR/><BR/>edpoetreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613032927883843078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-1162471485061668502006-11-02T07:44:00.000-05:002006-11-02T07:44:00.000-05:00Fr Jerome,Priest, priestess or whatever is irrelev...Fr Jerome,<BR/><BR/>Priest, priestess or whatever is irrelevant in this instance: she is preaching -- and what she is preaching is not Christianity.Albion Landhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423168351697120421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-1162468045559768002006-11-02T06:47:00.000-05:002006-11-02T06:47:00.000-05:00As I've said before, the tradition of priestesses ...As I've said before, the tradition of priestesses belongs to the pagan religions...!Jerome+ OSJVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18105866237803134893noreply@blogger.com
