If I proved your point, then I misunderstood what you were trying to say. I thought you said that the present day ECUSA is A/C friendly. In my experience it's just the opposite. Most consistent A/Cs object to women's ordination. To make that plain is to be run-out of most ECUSA parishes. MLW+ I'm confused because you seem to be proving my point, not yours. EG, both you and most of ECUSA call the table an altar, while we Evangelicals are much more apt to call it, along w/Cranmer, a table. We eat the sacrifice meal, but it's not something we offer to the Father. It is being offered to us. While ECUSA may buck tradition and install women priests, that seems to me to simply prove that they are disobedient Anglo-Catholics, not non-Anglo-Catholics. They certainly are in no way Evangelicals, and they seem to share many points of doctine w/my more conservative Anglo-Catholic friends: sacerdotal priesthood, justification by faith and works, Tradition and Scripture are equally authoritive, 39 Articles not binding upon Anglicans, etc. Yes, they differ on a few points, such as women in the priesthood, but that just makes them bad Anglo-Catholics, not non-Anglo-Catholics. Ritually and doctinally they appear very close.
