Via St. Phransus, in The Philadelphia Inquirer:
An Episcopal priest who resigned from a Downingtown church last fall after his ties to a Druid society were made public has renounced his Episcopal ordination and become a Druid priest.
W. William Melnyk, former rector of St. James' Episcopal Church, has formed the Llynhydd Grove of the Druid Order of the Yew, which he is leading under his Druid name, OakWyse.
In a phone interview yesterday, Melnyk called his move "a joyous occasion."
The involvement of Melnyk and his wife, the Rev. Glyn Ruppe-Melnyk - also an Episcopal priest - in New Age activities came to light in October, when two Druidic liturgies attributed to them were posted on the Episcopal Church's national Web site as a model of feminist liturgies.
Why am I unsurprised by this story?

It's only a matter of time before we have ordained United Methodist Elders who are Garden Gnomes on the side. Once the flood gates are open, we'll have no standards left.
Time to get back to the old time religion.
If it was good enough for Jesus it is good enough for me.
