When I read Leaving Church, I realized what a toll this church fight has cost us as a denomination. @Angela, this is not a book to read while going through candidacy. It is for us old broads who have been a bit chewed upon in the ministry and have perservered.

I haven't looked at our local library, as I've just been looking for mysteries lately. In the past, I could never find theology books I wanted and that's when I started buying them. . . . now I am overloaded with books. We're reading "A Case for God" in the book study I facilitate weekly, and it is good. Only a few days ago, I heard about her newest book on compassion, which makes sense as Armstrong helped to create the Charter for Compassion with the TED awards.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061517211101084120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-69623476038974358082011-01-21T10:49:15.054-05:002011-01-21T10:49:15.054-05:00Ahh, it was you who got me started on Spencer-Flem...Ahh, it was you who got me started on Spencer-Fleming. I thought that was weird too but do understand the supposedly familiar 'father' term as my mom's family is all Catholic. But instead of me thinking that was a trust thing, it made me afraid of them. <br /><br />Hmm. Perhaps I should not read Leaving Church until I am out of the winter and have already talked with the Candidacy Committee again.<br /><br />And, just noticing your blog quote and love it, had to write it down to ponder more. Always feels like you are in a warm place when I come to visit. ;-)angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451988954537329260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-77723185152128878902011-01-21T10:46:37.726-05:002011-01-21T10:46:37.726-05:00You put a finger on what I felt after reading Leav...You put a finger on what I felt after reading <i>Leaving Church</i> -- sad for her.

Ditto on BBT's Leaving Church. My list of reads sounds a lot like yours overall.

The first person to call me Fr. was a woman in the Bahamas--that's what she called her priest! As you say, title as opposed to gender. It's endearing to most people, some refuse to call me that. I hate being called "Mother." <br /><br />Good book choices!altar egohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564052536173244610noreply@blogger.com
