Oh, please. It’s not “bigotry;” there’s a natural difference between men and women. Men can’t bear children or be mothers; women can’t be fathers or priests (or bishops).

All the churches with women “priests,” “bishops,” etc. are dying on the vine, anyway, so this will all be a moot point within a few years.

Amen. Following as best we can in the footsteps of Christ seems to be a better choice.

Nothing He did was without plan or reason.

This is a good, fair and just decision by the Angelicans.

It is reflective of the fact that women are just as educated and just as capable as men in the year 2008. This was not the case when these “rules” were written (by men and for men)a thousand years ago.

Women can and will continue in the role of spiritual leaders.... And, for any churh to admonish them for it is a sad sad thing that reflects “blind following” as oppossed to “informend leading”.

I’m open to whomever speaks for goodness, kindness, and holds the 10 commandments to be a good guide for humanity. Shouldn’t matter if this person is black, white, orange,man or woman.....
