Thoughtful comment here, on Fulcrum. The starting point for this reflection is one some conservative churches somewhere are going to face (at least in the West): it is not that difficult to insist when choosing a vicar that she or he be married or single; it is another thing to constrain all lay leadership in a parish.
Anyway, without commending or condemning what is said herein, prompted by a commenter, I offer the link. You can comment there, if you wish; or here.
Or not: you might want to give your sense of who is going to be the next ABC ... I remain slightly puzzled about where that will end up and wonder if a very surprising name is not going to emerge.
