I find it interesting that in the evangelical/charismatic wing of the Episcopalianism (admittedly many of whom are now Anglican) priestesses are often accepted. Mainly it's the Anglo-Catholic types who've held the line on that...

I must be an ultra-conservative, as I'm evangelical (and even just a tad charismatic--not cessationist by any means) AND I believe Scripture, Tradition and Reason are united in reserving the priesthood for men.

Some of us are just odd ducks I guess....

C.S. Lewis's essay, "Priestesses in the Church?" is pretty unassailble, as far as the Reason argument goes, IMHO.

(by the way, I've looked for it for years on the net, and this is the first time I've found it.... Well worth printing for your feminist-brainwashed, post-modernist friends....)

The article was very well written, clear, logical and irrefutable.

I doubt that most women libbers, especially the die-hards who really, really dislike themselves (and show it by disliking men), would read through this. They are far too damaged with holes in their souls that only God can fill.

This morning's Gospel was about humility. Priestesses lack that by their very act of defying the Scriptures. The phrase I remember from this morning is:
Humility isn't about thinking LESS of yourself but about thinking of YOURSELF less.
