Hello. Here's the thing. Those of us who have a strong desire to see changes in the policy (in the CofC Denomination) which keeps gay men and lesbians (not to mention bi-sexual and transgendered persons - and hey - what would we do with someone who is transsexual?)out of the Priesthood are sick and tired of waiting. And frankly, tired of discerning. And listening. All I know to do is start praying. Start praying that the brothers and sisters around the world who claim God as their Creator will acknowledege the beauty of all creation. Start praying that whatever it takes to change an archaic policy will happen sooner than later. Start praying that those who are too tired, to hurt, too sad, too disgusted, too frustrated to wait any longer will still be around and open when we finally do the right thing. Start praying for our souls. Because I fear that if we don't move forward on this and start acknowledging and accepting ministry from all those whom God has called, we will have some serious explaining to do.

God help us all.
