Thank you sister Aliso...Thank you sister Elizabeth. Thank you sister Alison for sending me Elizabeth's blog site. Thank God for sending us Bishop Katharine.<BR/>Let's remember the nonsense and violence of labelling others with views different than ours. "Heretic" is just another brick in the Orthodox wall of exclusion as are the bricks <BR/>"evildoer","ungoldly",<BR/>"unworthy","Gay", "Transgender", <BR/>"feminist" or "outsider". I'm a happy heretic! The walls of exclusion can not harm me because my God gives me Her Christ, with whom I am never alone and need not fear. With never ending heretic hunts, one now going on in my Diocese,it's assuring to know that God is still speaking through Her servants at the top. God Bless Bishop Katharine. <BR/><BR/>In discerning my call as a lifelong Episcopalian I have perceived the love of Christ through God my Mother thanks to<BR/>feminist examples like Julian of Norwich and Hildegard of Bingen. Staying loyal to that love, which I hold as a remnant of Grace against the wagging tongues of orthodox Kings, I see my duty as turning up the volume of God's female voice through feminist bible study and sprititual growth. I lead a Red Tent Group in my church and write spiritual prose on my blog site. <BR/>In my view the ordination of Bishop Katharine is an affirmation of the long over due awakening to our Mother God. <BR/>debsredtent.blogspot.comDeborah Sproulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722982660416977832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-1159805610968961242006-10-02T12:13:00.000-04:002006-10-02T12:13:00.000-04:00Thanks be to God.

God made infinitely more sense to me after that, and I finally understood God as nurturing, instead of just judgmental.<BR/><BR/>So, yes -- Amen!Suzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03529580138314011952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-1159796603222697922006-10-02T09:43:00.000-04:002006-10-02T09:43:00.000-04:00"AMEN", Elizabeth."AMEN", Bishop Katharine."AMEN",..."AMEN", Elizabeth.<BR/><BR/>"AMEN", Bishop Katharine.<BR/><BR/>"AMEN", Mother Jesus!!!!Mary Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006458708187061684noreply@blogger.com
