I'm pleased that she was there for your mother's last days for her anointing, although she could not administer the sacraments.<BR/><BR/>I'm a late-in-life convert to inclusion, but now I'm here, I don't see how I could have ever thought any other way. There's no turning back. Thanks be to God.<BR/><BR/>Prayers for a safe trip home.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29841606.post-10717643889684234262008-06-11T17:05:00.000+12:002008-06-11T17:05:00.000+12:00Thanks for the link Alci.

When people are oppressed by those who rule the church in our diocese and the result is that many (most)gay men reject the Church and God as well, it is no wonder those like me who by the Grace of God have managed to survive in our faith, become very angry.Brian Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802352695666737088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29841606.post-17629574576555416982008-06-10T19:21:00.000+12:002008-06-10T19:21:00.000+12:00As a fellow deacon, I do not agree with what she h...As a fellow deacon, I do not agree with what she has stated, but I do agree with her ability to speak freely about her beliefs.<BR/><BR/>It is important though, that I am allowed to hold my opposite beliefs, and hold then strongly, without being classified in a perjorative manner, just as she is in the paper todaySteve Carlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04449284296275616372noreply@blogger.com
