| No Anglicans on DCUM? |
This is a DC-based site, not a UK-based site. |
| I was raised Church of England I’m happy with the decision. |
There are Anglicans here too. |
Maybe even the few Anglicans here can't get excited about it. |
| Catholic in favor of women's ordination here. Woo-hoo! |
| I'm happy, though my grandmother is turning in her gr.ve, |
| Sede vacante |
|
Roman Catholic Church: We're hopelessly corrupt.
Church of England: Hold my beer. |
|
St. Paul: A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife...
2000 years... CofE: We've lost relevancy... I know! Not just lady bishops. Lady archbishops! |
| The Vicar of Dibley finally got promoted. Huzzah! |
That verse isn't the prooftext you think it is. https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/junia-outstanding-among-apostles/ |
I'm not Church of England, but I'm Anglican. The last Archbishop, Welby, resigned after it was discovered he was covering for child sex abusers, so clearly nobody ever got the "blameless" part of your prooftext correct. A lady archbishop is an obvious improvement. I think if they can't stop protecting child abusers, they should just burn it all down and go home. Same for your church. |
If you take this literally, as you suggest, that phrase alone would invalidate the entire Roman Catholic church hierarchy. |
