I'm going to Cincinnati tomorrow with a group of Episcopal women that I belong to. We are staying at Episcopal convent that did not used to allow women to preside at the Eucharist.
See any irony here?!
Thank God, it now does allow women at the altar. I think this was due to new nuns coming into the convent who were more up to date. But a cynical part of me hopes it was not because they ran out of male priests to come preside.
The grounds are really quite nice. They have a beautiful Anglican style chapel, complete with rood screen in dark wood. It is old too, with the altar still on the wall.
What will become of Christianity that is steeped inside these old frames--old buildings and institutions like this convent? Will there still be a place for Christians there? Should there be?
