[edit] Ordination of Women within the AMiA.

The reason for my strong advocacy for this wording is as follows: a)not all charismatics, Anglican or otherwise, are evangelicals, and vice-versa; this is true within the AMiA as well as elsewhere; and b), within the AMia, both charismatics and evangelicals are those who generally support the ordination of women. While this may or may not be true in other Anglican circles, it is certainly the case in the AMiA. For example, Fitzsimmons Allison is the retired Episcopal bishop of South Carolina. He is now affiliated with the AMiA. He is a supporter of women's ordination and ordained one or more women to the priesthood while a bishop of the Episcopal Church. He is an Evangelical, and while he is not opposed to charismatic renewal, he would not describe himself as a charismatic. I hope that my latest wording on this question, specifically with regard to the AMiA, will satisfy everyone. --Midnite Critic 19:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Couple of issues

First, as to the history of the Continuing Anglican Movement: some more details about the St Louis Congress would be in order, not least that this was (or at least appears to have been) in response to the ECUSA's decision in 1976 (not sure of exact date) to ordain women. Perhaps someone more familiar than myself with this could fill in the details.

Second, the use of the AV/KJV and opposition to the ordination of women may be distinguishing marks of CAM churches, but certainly not identifying marks. By that measure, any church that uses AV/KJV and doesn't want women priests would ipso facto be part of the Continuing Anglican Movement. I can think of several Orthodox churches that would be surprised to get that bit of news. This change I'll make myself. JHCC (talk) 20:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC) .............................

Rejection of the ordination of women is already prominently mentioned in the first paragraph, giving the reasons for the movement. It is also referred to again in the part about AMiA. The paragraph about the KJV deals with something else, churchmanship and preferred Bible translations, which JHCC rightly described as 'distinguishing."

[edit] Charismatic Episcopal Church

Please add the International Communion of Charismatic Episcopal Churches. Founded in June 1972 in San Clement, California. It blends the charismatic spirituality with the Anglican liturgy and sacramental theology.

NOTE: I moved this request from the article itself to here. --Midnite Critic 07:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Rick, The article at Charismatic Episcopal Church says,

The CEC is not, nor has it ever been, affiliated with the Protestant Episcopal Church (PECUSA) or any other denomination. The word episcopal is used to describe its hierarchy of bishops

So perhaps it doesn't belong here after all, except to say that it doesn't consider itself as Continuing Anglican. What do you think? If you like, go ahead and edit the article yourself. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
