Dear Sir,
In the November en ‘Anglican Update’, David Baker denies that Evangelical Anglicans are tolerating heresy, but this begs the question, by what standard is heresy recognised? More particularly, are women presbyters and bishops something permitted, rejected or something indifferent and therefore allowed?
Back in the 1971 volume of Church Society’s Churchman magazine, Michael Bruce wrote in ‘Heresy, Equality and the Rights of Women’ that ‘many, even those who are strongly opposed to “priestesses”, have fallen into the error of thinking there is no heresy involved in the form of feminism which seeks ordination to the priesthood for women’.
