PAGAN EPISCOPAL LITURGIES
The Episcopal Church has responded to the Christianity Today article by withdrawing the pagan liturgy from their website (for "copyright" reasons). Here is part of their response: The resources listed on our website are not approved liturgies of the Episcopal Church. These liturgies are intended to spark dialogue, study, conversation and ponderings around women and our liturgical tradition. There is quite a difference in presenting resources for people's interest and enlightenment and promoting resources as official claims of the Episcopal Church. Only General Convention has this authority.
The problem is that the resources on their website are not identified as "discussion starters." To the contrary they very much appear to be promoting experimentation with these resources -- even if they are not "authorized" by their General Convention. And why are they even interested in promoting experimentation with paganism on their official website? See the Christianity Today response.
