Anglican Church Faces New Crisis Over Transsexual Priest
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/09/092705angTG.htm

Conservatives in the worldwide Anglican faith already threatening a schism over the election of an openly gay bishop in the United States are incensed over the announcement that a transsexual woman will be ordained into the priesthood in England.

Sarah Jones, 44, will be ordained on Saturday by the Bishop of Hereford.

The Evangelical Alliance - the organization of conservatives in the Church of England - called it "blasphemy".

" absolutely clear that God created human beings as male and female," said Don Horrocks, a spokesperson for the group.


and this person is a woman--what is the issue?

1. The issue is
some people have to always stick their nose in other people's business. The ones gasping in horror probably have never even met this lady, and have no clue about transsexuality.

2. Well I'm Anglican
A liberal one.

Your right ayeshahaqqiqa. People like sticking their nose in other peoples business.

They are just trying to enforce their moral expiations on us. Guess they like to show how “morally superior” :sarcasm: they are.

Should look into their closets and see what skeletons we find.
