Holy moly my memory from high school in the 1950's was off a bit. So what? More important is your asinine assertion of Mysogeny. Your ignorance never fails to surprise me.
The Episcopal Church intentionally departed from scripture, tradition, their own Canons and Moral Authority when they laid hands on the first female priestess. What they lost was a great deal more than their congregations could ever have imagined - now it's all wholly accepted by the people. They once considered themselves part of the one, holy, catholic & apostolic church. I expect they still mouth the same words.
It wasn't long after ordaining women that they began ordaining homosexuals and lesbians and opening the Church to all sexual perverts claiming Jesus says, "Come as you are, I love you and you don't ever need to change." That's a lie. Jesus would never say something that absurd. He sacrificed His holy and blessed life for the forgiveness of sin, not to enable or tolerate it. The sexual poison slid out of the Episcopal Church into practically every mainstream Protestant Congregations creating many new schism between their faithful and the Compromisers.
The Church doors are open only to that Body of Christ containing confessing repentant sinners. Those doors are closed to unrepentant sinners who only bring sin and shame into the Body. How do we know this T***h? Paul tells us unconditionally to drive them out. He shares with us this teaching in his letter to the Church in Corinth: (1 Cor 5: 1-13)
"I wrote to you in my epistleĀ not toĀ keep company with sexually immoral people.Ā Ā YetĀ IĀ certainlyĀ didĀ notĀ meanĀ with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to goĀ out of the world.Ā 11Ā But now I have written to you not to keep companyĀ with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortionerānot even to eat with such a person.
12Ā For whatĀ haveĀ IĀ to doĀ with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?Ā 13Ā But those who are outside God judges. ThereforeĀ put away from yourselves the evil person.ā Wow!!!
That's called excommunication, Kemmer.
The only hope you have left is either it's a gross misinterpretation of Holy Scripture or Jesus was just kidding. Neither hold water.
