Speaking as a polytheist, which of course Episcopalians are not supposed to be, I don’t have a real problem with someone representing different deities as an initiate/priest at different times.

In the ancient world, this sort of thing happened all the time.

I am not so sure, though, how it would work out if the one deity is actively hostile to the others–unless he really is not, and it’s only his followers who say so.

But polytheistic theology has not really tackled this issue, has it?
