Perhaps -- just perhaps -- the Church of England may avoid the slippery slope of liberalism as well. (See my update above.)A. S.

Thanks for your analysis of the Cof...Hi Curmudgeon,<br />Thanks for your analysis of the CofE situation. I just wanted to make you aware of the experience of the Diocese of Melbourne in Australia, which first ordained women as priests in 1992, and appointed its first woman bishop in 2008. The female priests in the diocese are not all crazy, liberal lefties. There is a fair proportion of solid evangelicals among them. Assistant Bishop Barbara Darling is fairly solidly evangelical too. It has not led to a wholesale slide into the liberal abyss you suggest is likely for the CofE. Ordination of LGBT people to any order is not on the agenda at all, and neither is same sex blessings. So, it is not always the case that ordaining women is the first step towards the entire liberal agenda. <br />Best wishes,<br />Andrew Reidspicksandspeckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08926414811291442183noreply@blogger.com
