The Reformed Episcopal Church is not against women but is against women's ordination.

What the issue is:

(1) It is contrary to all branches of the Church for 2,000 years, and has only become an issue when feminism came to the fore in the twentieth century.

(2) The Bible forbids it, for a qualification for ordination is to be "husband" of one wife, which in biblical terms eliminates women (Titus 1:6; 1 Timothy 3:2).

What the issue is not:

(1) It does not concern the value of women, who are equal to men, but have different roles assigned by God. In the chain of command, God gave to men to rule the Church. In persons, men and women are equal. In authority, God gave man the authority in the Church, just as He did in the home (Ephesians 5:22ff).

(2) It does not concern spiritual gifts, for many woman are highly gifted by God for service in His Church in other ways than in teaching men (1 Timothy 2:12) or in pastoring.

The issue is not difficult.
