I cannot...Thank you for contributing to this book. I cannot wait to read it. My 19 year old daughter insisted I read your book "Where God Hides Holiness" because she said it was my story (she was write.) I think the thing that frustrates me the most about being an ordained women is the ordained men who say, "We have moved beyond the gender issue. It's now a non-issue." Just one example for me is that when I was in the ordination process it was "assumed" I could take a part time or non-stipendary job because I had been a stay at home mom for 15 years so clearly I didn't need to be paid. Then some people (Stress not all) made me feel guilty for asking for a salary. It's there; it's subtle.<br />Recently that same daughter told me she was considering the priesthood--I will support her and be there for her if God is truly calling her to ordained ministry, but I must admit there was a part of me that was screaming, "Don't do it!" But I love my vocation; it is part of my very being, so I know if God is calling her she will answer and be awesome!Just Katherine--Patron Saint of Hot Messeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16413223818384995349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467092921624269928.post-32771002688929128892015-04-28T09:03:56.362-04:002015-04-28T09:03:56.362-04:00We had a female interim priest - who may have been...We had a female interim priest - who may have been one of the best priests I have ever met. MOST of the congregation loved her. (interestingly, it seemed to be mostly other women who had a problem.) If we could have kept her as a permanent pastor/shepherd/priest we would have done so. Fortunately, we did find an amazing (although male) priest to fill the spot. <br /><br />Hang in there, times are changing -and folks like YOU are making it happen.
