“There have been suggestions…...”
Such evasion. Suggestions don’t “happen”. PEOPLE suggest. Give the names and don’t hide behind circumlocutions.

If this were the USA I’d speculate that the diocese is out of money because the faithful are no longer giving to a parish and diocese that has abandoned orthodoxy.

I don’t know what the situation is in Nova Scotia.

There’s been a very fruitful ministry going on at King’s College Chapel for many years, undergirded by solid teaching. Folks in the US would be surprised by how many clergy there are in TEC who went to school there. One of its great ones was the Rev Dr Robert Crouse (RIP)—Google him and see how much comes up.

From this report, it sounds very much like what happens in TEC: anything that remains grounded in a classical form of Anglican practice is branded “bad” and must be rooted up… even if it is working well. As one of my relatives liked to say: “Envy does terrible things to people.”  Sadly, what usually is put in place of thriving ministry today is a made-for-failure disaster. As the orthodox faith has gone into eclipse, its antagonists are bent on the destruction of all reminders of “the old religion.”

The response from the Chaplain and the community to this mixture of propaganda, lies, and distortion has been swift and effective. It may be able to stem this tide. But the Bishop, using spurious language of economy, makes clear the priorities: effectiveness is no defense when ideological purity is on the line.

And Bishop Sue Moxley went further: “There have been suggestions that this model of chaplaincy is no longer appropriate, that the style of worship is antiquated and the chapel maintains a male-dominated clergy.”

And what has been the impact of the ‘new’ increasingly female domininated clergy on the Episcopal and Anglican national churchs?

Anecdotally, it seems that there has been a ‘falling off’ of male attendance and participation.

So, it seems, that this attempt at enforcing the avant garde secular feminine movement upon the traditional Apostolic Faith has had its consequences.

Was it worth it?  It depends upon one’s perspective.

I know that this comment may bring a testimonial or two about female clergy, but the question remains,
“Was the loss in male participation that feminization has brought worth it?”

Another question is
“Was there ever a sincere and prolonged effort to justify this feminization that honestly, theologically and spiritually addressed the issues associated with the feminization crusade?”
