Trace anxiety about blood shed and blood distinctions of as far back as you can and you will understand why the Priesthood is gender specific and always has been.<BR/><BR/>This is why I believe that women priests are ontologically an impossibility and those who push them upon the Church are really attacking the Blood of Jesus.Alice C.

I have been lamenting the new thing based solely on technology taking over the old thing for many years.<BR/><BR/>As for the anglican communion recovering, I remain barely hopeful, and yes, the women in any of the clerical ranks should go, with or without noise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-31776904792748164102008-07-29T09:45:00.000-04:002008-07-29T09:45:00.000-04:00Sadly, women are now voting members, and they are ...Sadly, women are now voting members, and they are not likely to vote against themselves. Even Fr. Wetzel only said to revisit the idea of women's ordination, not condemn it outright, probably because he knows there's no chance that they'll go quietly. If there is any action on removing women from the priesthood, it will mean yet more schism.

This essay is evidence of what Abp Haverland has pointed out, that many of the neo-Anglicans (that's not a pejorative term) are re-thinking the matter of WO. Yes, I've seen evidence of that already. Although there is a distance in ethos between us old-line Continuers and the newly independent Anglicans, we should keep our doors wide open and arms extended, to discover our common DNA.
