Edgar's response essentially amounted to a takedown of the patriarchy, and I was inwardly fist-pumping. The context for his email was an explosion of prejudice from Calvin Robinson, a speaker at the conference. Over the past couple weeks, I've been elated to see more ACNA bishops speak out. I am so thankful for the moral leadership of these men, who, in rebuking patriarchy – or, at minimum, the bad behavior of a priest supporting it – took a stand befitting the love to which Christ compels us.
