His "experience" consists of a distant cousin, Carter Heyward, who was ordained in a illicit ceremony in 1974. This part of the run-up by supporters of women’s ordination for the 1976 General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, where she and the other ten illicit ordinands were retroactively accepted as priests in that denomination.

That led to St Louis Affirmation the next year by Anglo-Catholics and marked the beginning of the end of the Episcopal Church.

Implicit in "From my experience with Anglicans, women priests were generally welcomed" is the unsaid "by individuals as contemptuous of their laws and traditions as I am of ours."
