A few weeks ago I posted this blog entry regarding an article at the Anglican Pastor blog entitled, "If Women Can Be Saved, Then Women Can Be Priests", which was penned by Emily McGowin, a priest (according to the Neo-Anglican understanding of holy orders) in a diocese of the Anglican Church in North America named "Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others." The next day I posted this comment from an REC priest that set forth a little history of said diocese and its bishop, Todd Hunter. That history provides some necessary context regarding Dr. Gowin's ordination.
Happily, two new articles have appeared refuting the argument she made at the Anglican Pastor blog. One is by Fr. Lee Nelson entitled, "The Problem With Making a Patristic Argument for the Ordination of Women", and is hosted by Anglican Pastor but with a promise of a rejoinder from McGowin. The other is an article at the Theopolis Institute by Fr. Blake Johnson entitled, "Sacramental Representation and the Created Order".
More appears to be coming, so stay tuned.

UPDATE: Here is Dr. McGowin's promised rejoinder. There are some great critical comments there. One of them mirrors my own, which is that Dr. McGowin's argument is a colossal non-sequitur. Meanwhile, The North American Anglican has published Fr. Alex Wilgus' response to her first article.
