My neice and her father the "Father" are at a youth conference in Constantinople. THIS is what the speaker said about Ordination and the Royal Priesthood. (You will like it!)
Finally, the sacrament of Ordination is not a declaration of the exclusive rights granted to the hierarchy. Priesthood is the royal vocation of all people. Through ordination, the Body of Christ receives new expression and renewed vitality. The whole world becomes a cathedral; every person is ordained for the kingdom and no place is unhallowed. When we discern the presence of God in everyone and in every place, then we can rejoice and celebrate the fullness of life.
