When I saw this photo, I thought the Rev. Jane Willis was celebrating the Eucharist. You know, the thing that Christians do because it was commanded by the most important person to enter history to commemorate the most important event to occur in history: God becoming flesh, dwelling among us, taking our sin upon himself, giving his life for us and reconciling us to God the Father.
Then I read the caption, saw the grin and realised it was something of far greater cosmic import: 25 years of lady priests. A silly mistake that anyone could have made.
The universal Church is divided on female ordinations.
The issue is not female priests but rather that many of them including apostate bishops worship the ‘god of political expediency’ and reject the GOD of the Scriptures and the authority of Scripture.
Professor J.I. Packer (1926- ) opposes female priesthood. He belongs to ACNA. The Anglican Diocese of Sydney in N.S.W. has no female priests.
