The Church orders Wives to Submit to their Husbands

[thir]

Now the question I am asking is, has the church now really lost the plot, in a time when the church is saying that the congregation is very low, were these the right words to say. In a time of sexual equality has this Vicar the right to say these things in public, is he now guilty of bigotry? Is it time to say that the church has no place in modern society, because it is obvious that the church cannot move with the times? Since when have any of Gods laws been higher than the law of the land since the UK repealed capital punishment?

Church orders Wives to ‘submit’

A VICAR has offended his parishioners by encouraging women to "be silent" and "submit" to their husbands.
Vicar Angus MacLeay issued a leaflet to churchgoers saying that women should "not speak" if questions could be answered by their husbands.
Rev Oden said he was "passionate" about saving the institution of marriage.

I do not think one idiot is enough to sink the church.

The only reason for a woman to submit to her husband is if she wishes to have a TTTWD relationship with him. It is a choice, not a religios obligation.

As for the high divorce rate, I think it has to do with the whole institution of marriage. It is too frail a construct and not, in my mind, how we are designed to live. We would do much better in larger units.
Just my opinion.
