A River of Fire: Our Yes to GodOn July 31, 2006, I stood with twelve courageous women as we boarded the Majestic River Boat for the first U.S. ordination of women deacons and priests.

We knew what we were doing.
We were stepping into the fire—
the fire of resistance,
and the fire of renewal.
We were not rebels without a cause.
We were women in love with the Church—
so deeply in love
that we could no longer remain silent while God’s people were denied the fullness of their gifts.
In that sacred moment, I felt it in my bones:
The Spirit was moving.
And nothing could stop her.

Like Miriam, dancing on the far side of the Red Sea, we crossed over—
not through parted waters........ https://open.substack.com/pub/bridgetmarymeehan/p/women-priests-rising-prophets-for?r=2kfqor&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
