Anglican Hermeneutics

John Rodgers, in the AMiA’s Women Ordination study, ends with this appendix. Simply superb.
–
1. Scripture as the Church’s Book: The Rule of Faith (Art. 8.)
It is foreign to the nature of the Scripture and a right understanding of it to interpret it as if it were not first addressed to, kept by, treasured and interpreted [...]

Laying on of hands and ordination

Reformed Catholicism has an interesting comment on the Laying on of Hands and Ordination, contrasting Calvin and Berkhoff. Along with Jonathan Bonomo, I gotta side with Calvin on this one:

Comments on Romans 3:21-26
