Hi Dave,

Thanks for your kind words.

My church - I believe is God's Church.  I still believe in her ability to do right by all within her.  I believe she is worth fighting for so she becomes the Just church she is meant to be. 

I believe that God called me knowing I would be rejected, crushed, leave & come back to our church after he picked up my pieces.  The point of this trial, our church needs real prophets.  Our church must end its hateful bias against women.  But for women to see justice, they must learn that this requires real courage, faith & action.  It is good to pray for change but prayer alone is not enough.  God expects us to be willing to risk everything to bring his Kingdom to earth.  

The mere example of sexism births poverty, violence, child abuse, slavery, forced illiteracy,  etc. on a global scale.  Religion is the strongest producer of sexism worldwide.  Our church can make a real difference against the ills I stated if we get rid of our sexism but not with it.
