Martin Luther didn't start the Lutheran Church.. those after him(others) did..

Time to invoke the "Save your breath" rule. Alexander Pope nailed the likes of notwithstanding--"a fool is happy that he knows no more."

Does this mean she is willing to let traditionalist parishes separate in an orderly way, with their buildings, etc?

No.

It means she is willing to let traditional Christian Episcopalians leave everything they treasure behind, and get the hell out of her bailiwick before she sues them, or sends in thugs to confiscate the records and change the locks on the doors. That's the way it's been done in Connecticut and she has never registered the slightesst objection.

It wouldn't take very many dead folks raised here in Pima County AZ to spark a revival - other than the dead folks raised to vote democrat every 2 years.

The ordination of this woman illustrates the absolute power of egalitarianism. It trumps any tradition, bible verse, custom, practice, law and even life itself. The criminal the vice addict, the impudent, those who lack self control are the equals of the self governed. End of game.

I hear you, went to Christ Church Cathedral in Ky on leave, ran smack into the woman (my buddies long lost Mom he has not heard from in years) who abandoned her kids in the 80's and was declared an unfit mother. Just wanted to lead a flock, as long as they weren't her kids! She is now Reverend Miskelley. On her way to bigger and better things than raising her two little boys, rewrote history I guess. Claims the X took them from her, sympathy factor seems to get you in Priest's robes. Seems like the Episcopal Church could care less who wears the robes. It had a bad affect on me to say the least. I just could not believe the hypocrisy.
