No cross - no crown!

Now we know (BBC)! Well, according to John Calvin, "let us consider how many relics of the true cross there are in the world. An account of those merely with which I am acquainted would fill a whole volume, for there is not a church, from a cathedral to the most miserable abbey or parish church, that does not contain a piece. Large splinters of it are preserved in various places, as for instance in the Holy Chapel at Paris, whilst at Rome they show a crucifix of considerable size made entirely, they say, from this wood. In short, if we were to collect all these pieces of the true cross exhibited in various parts, they would form a whole ship's cargo. The Gospel testifies that the cross could be borne by one single individual; how glaring, then, is the audacity now to pretend to display more relics of wood than three hundred men could carry! " But who is interested in Calvin or truth these days?! Anythingism will do!

Wright is wrong and wrong is right!

T. Wright is not at all convincing! We have no N.T. list of qualifications for women elders, and we read of no appointing of women elders. I shall restrain myself from commenting on the post-biblical historical origins of Anglicanism, ironically linked to one woman, rather than to biblical Christianity! No woman can assume the office of eldership and most men cannot, either! It would be far more honest to say that Paul teaches ... and I disagree ... than trying to make a case by eisegetical gymnastics of the worst kind. Ask T. Wright anything and the answer may be anything, but right!
