@tastiergerm Except that women in St. Paul's time were ordained as Deacons and Presbyters. St. Paul even praises women in leadership roles of the Church.

Is the ECUSA the whitest church in the world? It has to be. You go to a Southern Baptist congregation and you see diversity all over, whites, blacks (africans esp), latinos. You go to the ECUSA and everyone looks like her. So so so white.

@mghbluphi5 If you had read I Timothy 2 and Titus then you would know that Church elders (Bishops) should be able to teach and be husbands of one wife. Paul enjoins believers that women not have spiritual authority over men. She contradicts God's Word every time she speaks as a Bishop.

I like her remarks. She is discussing her duties as Bishop which are mostly administrative. That's why Bishops were created in the New Testament, for the administration of a growing and increasingly diverse Church. Shalom, Bishop.

No gospel for her

Funny, when asked what her responsibilities as bishop would be she didn't mention the gospel. How unrestrictive it must be to be a heretic.
