So that ordination of women thing

[luckykaa]

I just don't get the theological arguments against it. 

Yes, I realise Jesus (allegedly) only had male disciples.  Did he actually give a reason for this?  Has anyone speculated on the reason for this?  Could it be perhaps because first century Israel was actually not modern progressive 21st century country?

Is that the reason?  Seems way too simplistic to be seriously considered.

Thanks for the link. That's interesting stuff.

Can't say the argument against is all that compelling. Seems that even if they aren't later additions, all the arguments against are based of St. Peter and/or St. Paul. CofE doesn't accept papal infallability, and even if it did, the position of the church can be revised.
