"Axios"
:It depends on what the foucs of the article is. "Role of women..." is much broader. I think we need an article that focuses precisely on the current debates and discussions about "Ordination of Women." Sometimes we think we're immune to these kinds of discussions, but they're happening all around us, and are likely to grow in intensity. I think there are enough people on OrthodoxWiki that if someone says something in one direction, others will chime in with the counterpoint. There is a way that this dialectic can be productive, helping people clarify what they do mean to say. Mostly, let's aim for a descriptive overview of what's happening, as noted on [[Talk:Ordination_of_Women]]. [[User:FrJohn|Fr. John]]

I adjusted the bit about "Axios" to read differently—there seems to be a common misunderstanding about this. If it really is meant to signify the Church's consent, why does it fall after the bishop has already laid his hands on the ordinand and prayed for him to be ordained? Its placement in the service rather indicates that the bishop, then the clergy in the sanctuary, then everyone outside the sanctuary are all recognizing that the Holy Spirit has made the ordinand worthy to carry out his ordained office. {{User:ASDamick/sig}} 20:34, April 6, 2006 (CDT)
