...breach between Anglicans and the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches. In August, during the most substantial international Anglican-Orthodox talks in years, the Orthodox theologians decreed that women priests would be "a very serious obstacle" to improved relations.

Father Nicon Patrinacos of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America said the "letter of the law" prevents the Orthodox from consulting with a church whose order differs from their own.

Says she: "Girls who might whisper, simper and have the vapors at a dance often were very strong women who knew Latin and Greek and had developed strong wills from their fathers. There was the external myth and the role separation, but underneath there was a lot of role switching.
