Comments on: Melissa Skelton new metropolitan of B.C. and Yukon https://anglicanjournal.com/melissa-skelton-new-metropolitan-of-b-c-and-yukon/ National News from the Anglican Church of Canada Tue, 22 May 2018 21:15:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Duleep Jesudian https://anglicanjournal.com/melissa-skelton-new-metropolitan-of-b-c-and-yukon/#comment-7692 Tue, 22 May 2018 21:15:55 +0000 https://anglicanjournal.com/?p=155452#comment-7692 This is a subject with no end. Originally it was there due to the old theory of ‘unclean’ during their periods when according to Jewish & other ritual practices they were not allowed to touch anything. But CHRIST did away with it because HE touched them, lepers. dead bodies etc which irritated the ruling religious authorities. But again theoretically they are again subject to fluctuations in their moods according to their estrogen. Again with respect to females the examples of rulers as Indira Gandhi, Ms Bhutto, Maggie Thatcher & heroic women rulers have had a more stubborn streak & less willingness to listen. Saying this would irritate more than a few women readers. Being stubborn has a few virtues as sticking to your ideals regardless of consequences – if it was not there Christianity would have died out. Jesus was born Jewish because HE knew they were a stubborn group causing problems still because they still believe in a earthly kingdom.

So Colin, what you are suggesting is that people like me stop using the King James Authorized Version Holy Bible, and also completely ignore 1 Timothy 3.
Frankly your assertion that your views are “more intelligent” than mine comes across as offensive and insulting. That you would conclude with “or leave our church” completely contradicts your idea of “inclusive” and reveals a “do it my way or get out” arrogance.

They will need to change their views to a more intelligent inclusive future focused understanding or leave our church.

Will alternate Episcopal Oversight be offered?
