[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people need a pronoun to feel loved by and included in Christ, they have much bigger issues with their faith.  (By this I mean that I think this change is absolutely ridiculous, not that the change is warranted.)

[b]Left ECUSA years ago and have never looked back[/b].  Too much throwing the baby out with the bathwater.  And I say this as a woman who supports gay marriage, ordination of women, etc.[/quote]

We did too.  The Episcopal Church is already dead.  http://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/home-page-news-and-views/why-is-the-episcopal-church-near-collapse.aspx[/quote]

Yes, lots of people like you don’t like the ECUSA because it ordains women and gays. I’m proud of it for that reason—this is Jesus’ welcome and tolerance.[/quote]

I was at the women's march in another state just as a peaceful presence.  I had a guy walk up to me, look at my sash, and ask me if I was "really a minister".  I said "yes.  I am".  He went absolutely ballistic on me.  He said women could not be preachers.  That I was going to "special kind of hell".  And that he hoped I died.  Dead serious.  He was from a southern baptist church.  I know not all southern baptists are so hostile about it.  I grew up in that church.  But it really showed me just how much pure anger there is about women in ministry.

I reminded him that when Jesus came out of the tomb, women were there to greet him.  Jesus chose women to share literally the heart of the gospel.  He did not like that at all.  I need to learn to keep my mouth shut.  :lol: [/quote]

+1. He told Martha, or was it Mary, to get out of the kitchen and come listen to him teach. He let the woman with *gasp* unbound hair wash his feet. [/quote]
