Another step toward a split

Monday, June 14, 2010

The Anglican Communion is inching further toward dissolution, with Archbishop Rowan Williams' suspension of the Episcopal Church, U.S.A. because it violated a moratorium on ordaining bishops with same-sex partners with Mary Glasspool in L.A. Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori responded with a strongly worded rejection of the action, all but accusing Williams and conservatives in the Anglican Communion of ecclesiastical imperialism.

Also last weekend: The Roman Catholic Womenpriests movement ordained Mary Kay Kusner of Iowa City as a priest in their movement, an act denounced by the Roman Catholic bishop of Davenport, Iowa, Martin Amos. Of the work of the now 100 Roman Catholic Womenpriests, RCWP Bishop Bridget Mary Meehan said, "We’re growing very quickly, and the people are accepting us."

Bridget Mary Meehan's Comment:

The Roman Catholic Womenpriests is an initiative within the Roman Catholic Church, not a split, to renew priestly ministry to reflect the inclusive spirit of the Gospels modeled by Jesus and to serve the people in communities where all are welcome to receive sacraments and to celebrate a vibrant Catholicism. We are leading the Roman Catholic Church toward justice for women. The hierarchy needs to follow!
