It is interesting that one of the other reasons the British Anglicans are up in arms, is the ordination of women to the priesthood. Around the world, other Anglican/Episcopalian synods have been ordaining women for roughly 40 years. England, however, steadfastly refuses to do so, threatening mass exodus.

By the way, the Anglican Church is not Protestant. Anglicans did not participate in the reformation which gave birth to Protestant denominations like Presbyterians and Methodists. So they have no Protestant heritage to be protected.

JEANNIEMAC & I (RH) are Blessed because of your remark.

"Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you because of me."(Matthew 5:11)

"Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can see (know, be aware, understand) the Kingdom of God without being born from above." (Jesus' words from John 3:3)

"Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God with out being born of water and Spirit." (John 3:5)

Jesus is speaking to us about being baptized in water and The Holy Spirit. If you are not baptized, have turned your life over to Jesus and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, you will not understand God's Word (the Bible).

I looks more like Satan drawing his people together, to me.

JEANNIEMAC
Amen! Amen! Amen!

Jesus is drawing His people together--"That they may all be one."

Praise God!

Jesus prayed, "That they may all be one."
