Alice Linsley Throwing Down Again...

"One theme of Dr. Rowan’s address is that there is a Tradition that cannot be ignored. The Tradition that cannot be ignored is Catholic Orders. The Archbishop recognizes that women’s ordination is not a question that can be answered by opinion polls. He recognizes that women priests and bishops are an innovation. It remains to be seen if Dr. Williams also recognizes that this innovation is the result of and contributes to disorder in Anglicanism. Underlying the question is a biblical proposition that has deep and wide ranging implications. The Church has until the late 20th century refused to ordain women as priests because of Scripture and Tradition. Scripture and Tradition tell us that male and female, while equal in dignity and status, represent a God-established binary distinction. This binary distinction speaks of God and his People and of Christ and his Church. It speaks foremost of the nature of God’s love. This love, requiring unity yet distinction or “I-Thou”, is good, tender, just and eternal. In the Kingdom the distinction of male and female will continue, because it is eternal. Eternal verities are at stake here."

I have to say I'm beginning to like this lady more and more. Read the whole thing.
