Episcopalians install female priest as presiding bishop for first time 

And honestly that looks like more of a show to me.

this was a complete insult to Christianity definitely the work of the evil one

Who in the hell makes these vestments? Lol

I'm so confused on what season are they celebrating because of their vestments.

This is what happens when society hijacks a church.

Can't have problems with female clergy, if all your clergy have to have beards. -this post was made by OrthoGang

The Catholic church awaits you all with open arms.

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." Matthew 7:15

As a women I agree they shouldn't install female priest,. The bible clearly say so.

Is it a comedy show?

What a joke, I thought this was fake when I heard the Indian chanting and drumming🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂😂😂so glad I’m an orthodox Christian

Not sure what season are they in.

What a farce

Why she knocked the cathedral door with her staff

Fortunately het term is over. Years of Great Evil, Discord and Schism were caused by her

so she quit in November of 2015? she was barely in after this.

Unbelievable, i hope they learn to accept the truth of the bible.

Anglican liturgy is terrible.

don't abuse the Catholic church

I thought this was a monty python skit

Congratulations, martin luther!

This makes me angry cause Jesus only had men disciples not woman but men.

Lmao, this church is just letting everybody know that theyre invalid

How dare a woman puts herself in Christ shoes. And to say that it is God's church and christ church when very well known it is not... what a farce.....

This is wrong!

I need to get this off my chest no one knows nothing about this role and what lead her to this. Ask these questions to yourself Do you really think she wanted to be Bishop. And do we really know the hardship and responsibilities that this role come with. We quote the Bible as an excuse to say they can't be priest. We act like critics and judge that person, now is that "Christian"? I know the Word of God proclaims, “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent” (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In the church, God assigns different roles to men and women. This is a result of the way mankind was created and the way in which sin entered the world (1 Timothy 2:13-14). God, through the apostle Paul, restricts women from serving in roles of teaching and/or having spiritual authority over men. This precludes women from serving as pastors over men, which definitely includes preaching to them, teaching them publicly, and exercising spiritual authority over them. There are many objections to this view of women in pastoral ministry. A common one is that Paul restricts women from teaching because in the first century, women were typically uneducated. However, 1 Timothy 2:11-14 nowhere mentions educational status. If education were a qualification for ministry, then the majority of Jesus’ disciples would not have been qualified. A second common objection is that Paul only restricted the women of Ephesus from teaching men (1 Timothy was written to Timothy, the pastor of the church in Ephesus). Ephesus was known for its temple to Artemis, and women were the authorities in that branch of paganism-therefore, the theory goes, Paul was only reacting against the female-led customs of the Ephesian idolaters, and the church needed to be different. However, the book of 1 Timothy nowhere mentions Artemis, nor does Paul mention the standard practice of Artemis worshipers as a reason for the restrictions in 1 Timothy 2:11-12. A third objection is that Paul is only referring to husbands and wives, not men and women in general. The Greek words for “woman” and “man” in 1 Timothy 2 could refer to husbands and wives; however, the basic meaning of the words is broader than that. Further, the same Greek words are used in verses 8-10. Are only husbands to lift up holy hands in prayer without anger and disputing (verse 8)? Are only wives to dress modestly, have good deeds, and worship God (verses 9-10)? Of course not. Verses 8-10 clearly refer to all men and women, not just husbands and wives. There is nothing in the context that would indicate a narrowing to husbands and wives in verses 11-14. Yet another objection to this interpretation of women in pastoral ministry is in relation to women who held positions of leadership in the Bible, specifically Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah in the Old Testament. It is true that these women were chosen by God for special service to Him and that they stand as models of faith, courage, and, yes, leadership. However, the authority of women in the Old Testament is not relevant to the issue of pastors in the church. The New Testament Epistles present a new paradigm for God’s people-the church, the body of Christ-and that paradigm involves an authority structure unique to the church, not for the nation of Israel or any other Old Testament entity. Similar arguments are made using Priscilla and Phoebe in the New Testament. In Acts 18, Priscilla and Aquila are presented as faithful ministers for Christ. Priscilla’s name is mentioned first, perhaps indicating that she was more prominent in ministry than her husband. Did Priscilla and her husband teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to Apollos? Yes, in their home they “explained to him the way of God more adequately” (Acts 18:26). Does the Bible ever say that Priscilla pastored a church or taught publicly or became the spiritual leader of a congregation of saints? No. As far as we know, Priscilla was not involved in ministry activity in contradiction to 1 Timothy 2:11-14. In Romans 16:1, Phoebe is called a “deacon” (or “servant”) in the church and is highly commended by Paul. But, as with Priscilla, there is nothing in Scripture to indicate that Phoebe was a pastor or a teacher of men in the church. “Able to teach” is given as a qualification for elders, but not for deacons (1 Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:6-9). The structure of 1 Timothy 2:11-14 makes the reason why women cannot be pastors perfectly clear. Verse 13 begins with “for,” giving the “cause” of Paul’s statement in verses 11-12. Why should women not teach or have authority over men? Because “Adam was created first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived” (verses 13-14). God created Adam first and then created Eve to be a “helper” for Adam. The order of creation has universal application in the family (Ephesians 5:22-33) and in the church. The fact that Eve was deceived is also given in 1 Timothy 2:14 as a reason for women not serving as pastors or having spiritual authority over men. This does not mean that women are gullible or that they are all more easily deceived than men. If all women are more easily deceived, why would they be allowed to teach children (who are easily deceived) and other women (who are supposedly more easily deceived)? The text simply says that women are not to teach men or have spiritual authority over men because Eve was deceived. God has chosen to give men the primary teaching authority in the church. Many women excel in gifts of hospitality, mercy, teaching, evangelism, and helping/serving. Much of the ministry of the local church depends on women. Women in the church are not restricted from public praying or prophesying (1 Corinthians 11:5), only from having spiritual teaching authority over men. The Bible nowhere restricts women from exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12). Women, just as much as men, are called to minister to others, to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and to proclaim the gospel to the lost (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15). God has ordained that only men are to serve in positions of spiritual teaching authority in the church. This is not because men are necessarily better teachers or because women are inferior or less intelligent (which is not the case). It is simply the way God designed the church to function. Men are to set the example in spiritual leadership-in their lives and through their words. Women are to take a less authoritative role. Women are encouraged to teach other women (Titus 2:3-5). The Bible also does not restrict women from teaching children. The only activity women are restricted from is teaching or having spiritual authority over men. This precludes women from serving as pastors to men. This does not make women less important, by any means, but rather gives them a ministry focus more in agreement with God’s plan and His gifting of them.

She looks like a boss from a poorly-made Mario knock-off.

Heresy

this is like a sick joke.

Risible. To think the Episcopalians were once the most respected and influential denomination in the United States. Now, not so much..

For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Fuckin' Creepy

Lord forgive for they do no know what they are doing

Even Vatican II did not do enough to ordain women into the Catholic church.

Why that haircut? She wants to be like a him, she can not. Thats a costume!

Pray for her soul that hell might not be awful for her

The church is crazy like the Queen's ancestors who are now in hell.

Invalid and fake, they're just playing dress up.

how come she become a bishop???...

Big mistake

Top cringe.

Very bad

Why is she wearing a man's hat? Surely bishopresses should be in female attire, not that of a male. I would say that prophetesses in the Bible wore women's clothes, not men's as it is an abomination in the Bible for a woman to wear man's attire and vice versa. Strange that the Church should encourage this, at least going by any of the priestesses I have seen.

Anong klaseng relihiyong ito!? Sinabi na ng Panginoong Hesus na"maraming paparito na nagsasabi na ako ang Cristo"sa loob ay mga mababangis na lobo. All non-Catholic come home to Catholic Church the true Church of Christ so that you receive the eternal Salvation.

The puritans were right

The Anglican Church of Canada Now gots the 1st ever the Women As the head of the Church

what in the sam fuck

anathema sit!

Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison

The 'episcopalians' take their name from a greek word translated 'overseer'. What does the bible say about appointing such? " If any MAN is reaching out for the office of 'overseer' ( episcopate, 'bishop') he must be a HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE" 1Tim 3:1,2. Thus this American religion has taken just another step in falling in line with the 'anglican' church that has moved further & further away from the Holy bible's teachings on morals & doctrines|!

Sorry, but I just can’t help but laugh seeing a woman in a mitre. Is this some kind of joke?

The Episcopal Church was already fragmenting, but this lady went full Thelma & Louise😂

strange vestments

What a circus!

What is it with all the hate comments here? I mean come on. They don't have to be "destroyed". They are not "diabolic." Let's cool our jets please. If you have something to say then say it -- using something we call intelligence and emotional moderation.

woman cannot be a priest lol

hopefully i'm orthodox

Denying scripture tradition and reason I can’t believe my church

São Miguel arcanjos esmaga a cabeça DOS demônios

Mt. 24 :15

Fake bishop

Such vile heresy.

Holy Mary save us

This is pointless

Heresy.

This is just bad...

respect their religion, beliefs and liturgy, time will come when judgement day comes and will reveal the true church .. . . . but seriously The priest represents Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is A MAN. Why ordain a female? nor consecrate them as bishops?????

Heresia

What's with the pagan music

I love how the comments below are from so called 'christians'. Don't judge other denominations just because you don't agree with them. Go do some research before you spout off your hateful language.

Que horrível.

Christianity was finished during the vandals era , this is paganism not Christianity

God bless her

so much cringe

Disgusting

Absolutely null and utterly void

What a caricature ? HOW Dare you welcome this woman as priest the name of Christ ? THIS IS THE END OF THE CHURCH DESCENDING FROM A EIGHT TIME MARRIED HENRY THE 8TH.

Disgusting and awkward

*confused St John Marie Vianney sounds*

Episcopagans gonna pagan.

Heresy, it's just not right

The darkest day in all Christian Union

Based Orthodox

The Bible clearly states: 1 Timothy 2:11-15 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 1 Corinthians 14:34, 35 34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. KJV Don't people read the Bible anymore?

Come up with all the Bible verses and "Christ's deciples were all men." all you want. It does not mater if there is a penis or a vagina between the ordained's legs. If a person has what it takes to be a priest or in this case a preistess, then let them do the job. More power to that female bishop. Beside if you don't like the fact a woman is able to give homolies and celecrate the Holy Eucherist then I'm sure you can find a denomination out of the 30,000 flavors of Christianity that treats women as second class citizens just how you like it.

Protestantism is bizarre!!! Protestantism will end during Three Days of Darkness.

These comments down below, are the reason people have rejected religion. A woman is just as smart, valuable and wise as a man. Her mind and her heart in the case of being a Bishop should be the only elements of concern. These roots are in Christianity, and there are more sects than you know. Stick to your faith, nobody is forcing you to embrace other beliefs. The bible is part truth and part parable. The lies on a man's written book may not be the full word of God. God wanted you to be kind, Eve is half of Adam, therefore she is just as much man as she is a woman, and she was created in God's image, not yours😉 I'm not a thrid wave feminist. But I understand that woman make up 50% of the world's population, and if we suffer the consequences of a bad society the suffering is ours as well. There are theories about the first supper portrait, a woman was "wise" once?
