I want women to have every opportunity to find their calling in the religious life. Those who are serious about it aren’t looking for glory, they’re humble and mild like our Lord.

One of the reasons I stepped away from the RCC was because every time I asked the question (as a woman/female) "who can I be in the church?" I was either directed to join one of the many social clubs or bible studies, or given confused looks...kind of like the looks I got when I went ot my professors my senior year and said "Okay, ive spent all thsi money getting a degree in YOUR discipline...where can I find work?" and getting this empty dismayed look...like that was a wholly unthinkable thing to ask...

I found an orthodox Anglican church that presented me with all the beauty of the Bible and worshipping God...and I finally have some of those answers...not all, but I blame my own sinful nature for not listening to God, instead of wondering why Im just a cog in the machine....
