No, I don't think so. If the result was for women's ordination, we'd see ongoing division (lots of people not accepting the result, as has happened with schisms in many denominations). If the result was against women's ordination, what becomes of those of us in orders? And the churches which we serve?
I would not accept such a vote as a legitimate undoing of my ordination.
I'm not sure. But the participation of laity would be very important.
I entirely agree that you can't undo women's ordination where it's already established. I was meaning only churches that don't allow it so far.
Do you think then that most denominations won't decide to accept a democratic result on this issue? Does scripture say anything
about using some form of democracy to resolve contentiousness issues? Sorry to plague you with questions btw! I'm going out now so this will be must last one (for now!)
