GRAND FORKS, N.D.—A lesbian priest says she wants to start a dialogue with church leaders after the Episcopal bishop of North Dakota refused her request for a license to minister in the state.
The Rev. Gayle Baldwin, 62, an associate professor of religion at the University of North Dakota, was ordained an Episcopal priest in 1980. She came out as a lesbian a decade ago in Wyoming, where she has a license to preach and administer the sacraments. She came to UND in 2000.

Bishop Smith "needs to be challenged," on the issue of denying her a license to do what God called and what the church already has ordained her to do, Baldwin said.Since "a calling" is such a personal and subjective claim, it seems that it cannot be objectified. Therefore, shouldn't the process of "discernment" really be the church's finding of acceptability to the church of the individual and not the other way around?

OK, but here’s the title of a talk she gave on Rainbow Radio a few years ago:
A Gay Story with a Happy Ending, or, When Gay Folks Get Out of the Boat, Jesus Don’t Let Them Sink by The Rev. Gayle Baldwin (professor of religion at University of North Dakota and former Episcopal priest) (9:30)

You know, you couldn't make this stuff up.
Nobody would believe it.
I am SOOOOOO glad I swam the Tiber to worship with serious Christians, instead of remaining with these loony children playing church . . . .

There are no serious Christians on the other side of the Tiber? Only on your side?

On her desk in the pending publication phase is:

Great title, Gayle. We'll be holding our breath for the publication date.

I used to be one.
It's so embarassing. It's worse than having voted for Jimmy Carter.
