Synod must fight totalitarian bullies

By Peter Mullen, CEN
The whole of this is well worth reading:

"The integrity which opposes the ordination of women is no mere misogynist whim. It is a theological integrity and it was outlined as long ago as the 1940s by the great Christian apologist C S Lewis: 'Suppose the reformer begins to say that God is like a good woman. Suppose she says that we might just as well pray to Our Mother which art in heaven as to Our Father. Suppose that the Incarnation might just as well have taken a female form. Suppose the Second Person of the Trinity be as well called Daughter of God as Son of God. Suppose finally that the mystical marriage betwixt ‘Christ and his Church’ were reversed, that the Church became the Bridegroom and Christ the Bride. All this is involved in the claim that a woman can represent God as priest.'"

TJ's note: Whether one agrees, or not, with the Anglo Catholic position on the ordination of women, there can be little argument that it is THE traditional position of the Church.
