OUR THEME: PROPHECY
Today we focused on women in religious orders who are being "investigated" by the Vatican and who are our modern day prophets. They hold the vision of Vatican II. And they remind us what a discipleship of equals means. We heard heard the good news from India that the Catholic Bishops Conference of India will soon come out with a policy that recommends equal representation for women at every level of the church to "redeem" centuries long "injustices." We looked to the prophets in our midst, Trudy and Lynn, who were celebrating the 14th anniversary of their committed relationship [see picture above], and Victoria and Kathryn who celebrated their 1st year anniversary of being legally married [though they have been life partners for over 20 years!]. We wondered out loud together how each of us is called in our daily lives to being prophets, as we work to re-create the Roman Catholic Church as accountable, transparent, inclusive, and just. Evelie inspired this mood for change with her selection of "The Times They are A-Changing!"
