National attention has been focused for some time upon
California's illiterate, but ingenious ordination-by-mail
magnate, the Rev. Dr. Kirby Hrnsley, of Modesto.
Among other intriguing activities. Dr. HensJey, founder of
the Universal Life Church, has managed to ordain an
estimated two million people - well s number of
Siamese cats.
Not to be outdone in the realm of innovative liturgical
adventure, three prelates of the Episcopal Church (all
retired 1 recently staged an ordination sen-ice in North
Philadeiphia. which, in some respects upstaged even the
Rev. Dr. HensJev's feline sacramentary.
Bishops Daniel Comgan. Robert DeWitt and Edward
Weles. formerly of dioceses in Denver. Philadelphia and
Kansas City, on July 29 carried out their announced -in-advance
intent to defy an impressive segment of the very
same church law which they once swore to uphold and to
disregard the earnest pleadings of their fellow bishops
urvrenredi by conducting a sen ice of ordination to the
priesthood for 11 eager-eyed ladies
The three bishops announced piously that their action in
this regard was -obedience to the Lordship of Christ,"
winch terminology, under the circumstances, constitutes
what might be called a holy mystery
For 8 a indeed mysterious that Christ allegedly waited
until all three of these particular bishops were safely retired
or guaranteed pensions before issuing what they announced
was -fits command" - to produce priestesses.
It ts indeed remarkable, for example, that pnor to his
rfirement yust 10 months ago. Bishop DeWitt, while is
charge of "tie Diocese of Pennsylvania, declined the repeated
reoaews of Deacon Suzanne Hjatt for ordination to the
pries bewd
But things were very different then. For such an
ordma would have caused trouble in DeWitt 'i own
diocese not to mention a national crisis for De Wirt's dose
friend J.-hn E Hines, mho recently retired as the ranking
preiae. or Presiding Bishop, of the 15 million -member
devw.ira'MT. Such an ordination would have been a major
prfinem and embarrassment for Hones.
But now Hines has been succeeded by a much less liberally
way -out buAop named John Ailm. While Hines and DeWitt
are busy trying to resurrect a defunct church magazine
cad "The Witness" which (dare we say it) wi3
ur-kiBbed!y become known as "The Witless." And what
be-er way ? attract national attention and publicity for a
revned be Isberal sheet than to drop the female ordination
ha-d grenade m the new Presiding Bishop's Up? even if
h: tears the dtenommatioa apart, as it probabiy wiH uuess

The ordraK service at the enormous Church of the
