Alleluia. Restored and Grateful

Happy and Blessed Saint Matthias Day.

Today I was restored to Full Communion in Holy Orthodoxy with a needed Economia as well.

Thanks be to God.

In Flux. Part Three

The women’s sacramental ordination issue is proving to be too much to ignore.

I just had my first Liver Amangioma Surgery and in God’s Providence I met the patient in front of me  and his wife.

They were missionaries to Portugal for nine years as General Baptist Christians.

Now, they are based out of one of my earliest churches, South Holly Baptist Church, a GARBC church.

This church highly values scripture and are opposed to women’s ordination to the pastorate on that basis alone.  My inherent conservatism indeed came from somewhere, as this experience has reminded me.

Add to this the Holy Tradition of the Undivided Catholic / Orthodox Church, and there really can be no doubt or compromise on this issue.

I must either return to official Orthodoxy, or as a last fallback position, to the G-4 Anglicans to partake of the Holy Communion.

I cannot commune at Rez / The ACNA.

Terms of my surrender to be determined soon.

Lord, Have Mercy.  Christ Have Mercy.
