Marcia, my biological mother, taught me that
We believe in the priesthood of all reglions.
I have been on a pilgrimage for several years. Last year I was in a Methodist church in Chartucky for Sunday service. Chartuckians have an office plaza named after a Michigan Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. There are many good folks. There are many more confused.
We were speaking politics just off the sanctuary, sipping coffee. I expressed my Republican affections. A woman about my age turned out a ferocity that would have scared a werewolf. I explained that We were not that sort of Republican. she appeared confused and disappointed. She retreated.
Earlier this week I was attending services.
The speaker touched briefly on the issue of decreased attendance amongst many religions. I was epiphanied. WE do not wish more attendance. WE wish more Attendance. We wish folks would Attend to their minds, their hearts, their empathy.
No, thank you very much. I do know of a Queen that is better suited.
