Chapter 32: Pink Smoke over Sydney II - Egalitarianism Hits the Fan

Foreseeing an outraged female reaction to his dogmatic complementarian stance, Archbishop Glenn Davies and his complementarian corps have staged a comical takeover coup, in the form of dogmatic "egalitarianism." Sydney Anglican "egalitarians" claim to be sympathetic to women's ministries, but they stop short at priestly ordination for women. Sydney Anglican "egalitarian" dogma proposes reducing church ministry to a lowest common denominator by discarding both Holy Communion and all forms of clerical ordination. Sydney Anglicans are now required to choose between the complementarian camp, or the egalitarian camp, neither of which favour ordaining women priests, who were supposedly outlawed by the overwhelmingly male Sydney Anglican General Synod.

In late April 2015 Archbishop Glenn Davies showed his true colours by withdrawing preaching licenses from several ordained Sydney women deacons. However these women are still preaching, because their diaconal ordination obliges them to ignore this complentarian / egalitarian dogma.
