"I'll say something
else that I think is very pertinent right here and now in this church. This
church would not be closing if we were recognizing that we have new life in
Christ -- neither male nor female in Jesus, everyone could be called to
ministry. There would be no shortage of ordained ministers because Jesus has
taken away that distinction, even between male and female. Every person is
qualified to be another Christ celebrating the holy Eucharist at the altar. We
would have plenty of ministers if we would just be listening to Jesus and
following his way."
Bishop Thomas
Gumbleton
Homily given at St.
Leo Church
From his column
in National Catholic Reporter
Sounds to me like Bishop Gumbleton has joined the spiritual revolution in advocating for women priests as a way of following Jesus example of gender equality. I am delighted that you are part of what I call the holy shakeup!. Bridget Mary Meehan, ARCWP, www.arcwp.org
