Found this on Father Dwight's blog, with the picture, sounds and looks scarry!
"The website of the Young Women Clergy Project claims to be "powered by faith, verve, chocolate, and really great shoes." At the Beauty Tips for Ministers blog, a telling phenomenon in its own right, one finds discussions of clergy eyeliner, lingerie, and lip gloss. At ECUSA's site, we find suggestions for Thirty Ways to Celebrate Thirty Years of Women's Ordained Ministry

Well, as long as they're not claiming to be *Catholic* priests. Their male counterparts don't produce a valid Eucharist either!

[WTH are they thinking re: lip gloss - that stuff gets on the purificators - do they use kleenex instead of linen? ]
Clergy lingerie???
The mind, she boggles...
Mac, I didn't want to even go there on a real priest's blog - but I had the same thought. Way TMI.
Why the hype?
I don't see any women.
ECUSA - well that says it all folks! I'm not so sure Our Blessed Lord had this lot in mind when He told Peter to build His Church.
Goofs and crazies, lip-gloss, lingerie (yikes!), eye liners, whacky liturgy and all.
Ma Beck - don't see any women - LOL!
Yikes I was half asleep and thought I was having a nightmare!
Lipgloss and lingerie clash with a dog collar-it's just so last century.
I thought that the Protestant church clergy were not priests so what is the problem of them having women ministers? Nothing to do with us Catholics, surely.
Henry, there's Anglicans and Anglicans. When I went to UCSD I took 5 college quarters of Latin. My professor was a High Church Anglican, he had a classics degree from Oxford, prewar, and was later ordained and served as a chaplain during WWII - he could have been a character in an Agatha Christie mystery, or could have played the Rev. in Sayer's THE NINE TAYLORS (a favorite of mine) -- he did go by "Father." A very nice guy all around. He lead us all through Wheelock's Latin grammar that 1st quarter and a half, then we moved on to fairly simple text, then starting 2nd year we waded in on the Aeneid. I can remember getting a beaming smile early on when were were going through the vocabulary lists. We'd go over the vocabulary and he'd make us stretch for English cognates and derivatives. I got a kudos for coming up with "Monstrance" from the verb "monstrare." He gave me one of those big smiles and a "yes" and we were the only two in the room who knew what it was.
anyway, there are "protestants" nnd then there are "protestants."
I have no idea what he'd think of the Episcopal church in America today.

Oh, and BTW, you guys, with that lingerie business that has "Landover Baptist" written all over it." Quite a good spoof.
Fr. Ray,
A picture says 1,000 words. That photo of the Anglican bishop with those dear deluded ladies is a classic.
If ever the CTS brings out "Ordinatio Sacerdotalis" in pamphlet form, this surely should be the front cover.
