Dear John,
I have to agree that, as you say, it is easy for us to make these comments because we are men. I feel quite sad about it. I am very conscious of what marvellous pastors many women have become in the CoE. However, this does not mean that they could not be good pastors without ordination, or without the authority to act as priest during their Communion service. (I distinguish between pastor and priest in this matter.) But I return to the point that you too have made, that the rules are God's, not ours. No matter how much we may sympathise with women on this issue we are only viewing it from the human male perspective, and must simply trust God to know what He is doing. If there are those who find such an approach sexist, I'm sorry, but I don't feel up to arguing with God! With love and prayers, Antony-Paul |
