Which is likely merely spin control effort. The “druidess” who wrote the thing, and the “priestess” who submitted it to the ECUSA site, are the same person, I have read. Apparently, she and her likewise inclined hubby (druid/Anglican priest) have been active in both ECUSA and druidic circles. Thus circulates the scuttlebutt lately, anyway.

I see! Well, so the person who submitted this did indeed write the liturgy. This is interesting indeed. I see now some of the links on the internet speaking about this. It does look like they may be one and the same woman.

Wow, the ECUSA web administrators are busily doing damage control now aren’t they? Too bad that damage control doesn’t involve reprimanding this priestess that wrote the druidic liturgy to be used by other christians.

The Pontificator has posted a number of posts on this very subject lately. They are, as always, quite well written. Enjoy. 🙂

The Pontificator rules. Yep, Bill and Glyn, and other names when in Druid-hood.

Anyone following this thread might want to read through those links, and all attached comments/links. Here’s a link from the 3rd Pontificator page, to the follow-up article at Christianity Today.

As I thought, the removal of the Liturgy was not the only change. The purpose of those resources, which had been avaliable to be down loaded and used by all, is now declared sort of a casual conversation, just noodling around, talking stuff over, you know. Exploring, like that. Diversity, and all.

Spin, damage control. Kinda curious they would get so agitated.

I think the “Liturgy of Divorce” has gone into the Memory Hole, too.

Interesting that in the material circulated to justify making Gene Robinson an Anglican Bishop, it was noted that he and his former wife went through some kind of a liturgy to release each other from their marriage vows, as if that were possible.

One wonders, was that the liturgy? Even if it wasn’t that exact one, there was some kind of liturgical disolution formula applied in the ECUSA.

Very, very sad, really.

Blessings,

Has anyone else come across this article from Christianity Today?

It talks about something on the official church website that describes the liturgy of a ceremony that would appear to be similar to pagan practices specifically condemned in scripture!

This amazes me! I suppose it was only a matter of time what with the Episcopal church throwing out biblical doctrine after biblical doctrine (ordaining women, accepting and celebrating homosexuality, etc.)

Has anyone heard more about this obviously creepy ceremony?

It’s really no different than all of the pagan practices that the catholic and other christian churches also took as their own…

Back in the 1970s and 1980s when all of this stuff was being planted, all the “best” mad feminist theologians were Catholic. I attended a liturgy, billed as a “Mass,” celebrated by a Catholic nun which included prayers to “God our Mother” and represented the cup as “the menstrual blood of the world” or some such nonsense. The liturgy was in an Episcopal setting at a conference on the proposed consecration of women bishops.

Anybody interested in the kind of “theology” that leads to this sort of liturgy needs to read William Oddie’s now out-of-print book, What Will Happen to God? It is a brief summary of the major positions on feminist theology up to 1988. Take your blood pressure pills before you open it.

Oddie’s book was nothing, compared to reading “Catholicism Confronts Modernity” by James Hitchcock. That was so shocking, it took a while to recover. 🙂 (Hitchcock’s book was published in 1979, by the Seabury Press, which as the name suggests is Anglican.)​

The 70s seem to have been a lunatic period, in some ways. ##
