[Spero News] 13 Dec 2007--In a recent exchange, a conservative Episcopalian who considers Women's "Ordination" to be unimportant, made the following comment to a reader of The Continuum:
"There is, likewise, a reason there are no sites with comparable readership [to Stand Firm] that focus primarily on the matter of women's ordination: NOBODY GIVES A S... " Greg Griffith of Stand Firm in Faith (expletive, as in profanity, deleted by me.1)
This statement is worth thinking about. How can anyone fail to consider that the Episcopal Church lost more than a third of its entire membership in the late 1970s and early 1980s due wholly to this one innovation of women's "ordination?" And, why is it that all of us in the Continuing Churches have been dismissed by this high profile individual with the word "Nobody?" If "nobody gives a ...", then I take it that all of us are nobody.

Admittedly an intemperate response. On the other had, there have been a few opponents of WO who have simply been obnoxious pests, trying to hijack just about any thread to their pet peeve. I suspect that is the real source of GG's frustration at the time.
