Ordination of women s not of particular interest, Ended up in a converstion many many years ago and was asked that question by a episcable minister oddly enough and the answer that came out was : Life is about balance.. women primary role in a spiritual life is giving birth to new life this is a role a man can not give,, man only plays a minor role in the creation life, to balance that out by the ordination of men the role of giving spiritual life and nurturing of that life. . It is a balance thing within spirituality.:
I have been involved with parishes with women pastors, the truth is that they lacked the zing I need to grow, the nurturing and spiritual life does require nurturing, Although I think the world of her husband and her as a person, her spirituality is a wash in the eddies of feminism.. To me spirituality is an evolutionary process if you are not growing, you are dying.. your choice. To become awash in the eddy currents .. well they tend to prevent spiritual development in my opinion. the truth is true spirituality is a rough row to hoe.. although when you are involved in it you tend to not notice .
