There are overlapping members, so UMI appeals to some members of the Unitarian Christian Association.Pluralist (Adrian Worsfold)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01922153724523820866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449677811690616608.post-40604984936500407332011-09-20T18:45:06.762+02:002011-09-20T18:45:06.762+02:00From the September 2011 LCAC Newsletter:
'On ...From the September 2011 LCAC Newsletter:<br /><br />'On Wednesday 24 August Rev Dr Mhoira<br />was interviewed by Rev Stephen York,<br />Vice President of Unitarian Ministries<br />International via Skype. The result of<br />the hour-long chat was that Mhoira was<br />invited to meet the full board of UMI on<br />Sunday evening 28 November. The result<br />of that urgent board meeting via their<br />telephone conference line was to<br />welcome Mhoira into full ordination<br />standing with UMI. Rev Dr Mhoira is to<br />be awarded a second certification by<br />UMI after her consecration as the first<br />woman bishop of the LCAC which<br />respects and acknowledges her standing<br />as an LCAC bishop.'<br /><br />Please can you explain what is going on here?<br /><br />Assume this a case of UMI accepting existing ordinations because of their Christian nature.<br /><br />This is in contrast with Essex Hall General Assembly requiring specific training as a Minister.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
