Thank you for all that you do to make this journey of change a little more understandable. In recent years the theological rugs are being pulled away from under our feet and gratefully being replaced by theology that you and others offer to folk like me whose theology never did make sense. Thanks again.

Never learned to literally dive easily,...Yet all the ways water is OF USE BY HER VERY BEING AND IN MANY FORMS Essential for LIFE, PRECIOUS SISTER WATER, AS THE CANTICLE SPEAKS OF HER..

Yes and Wow! I can't wait. I will pass this along to some of my friends (and also clergy) I'm going to try not to go off on a rant, but honestly they need to wake up and speak up. On that note, I'll probably have to email you to vent. My apologies in advance.

These are tough days - and many clergy aren't entirely sure what to do. We're trying to help!

I do know that, truly I do. I can't tell you how grateful I am to you and others who are making the effort to offer both the knowledge and direction, in hopes that they'll get some guidance. (that sentence was far too long)

This sounds wonderful. I am looking forward to my first issue. Did post this to my FB friends (something I have not done) because it looks like something folks find interesting.

We had so much fun in the first video recording. I think you'll really like it.

And thank you for sharing!
