“Here’s the thing: Reconciliation can’t happen when one party is still in pain.”
“…until modern times no woman was allowed to read her book aloud, although its reading is mandated on the holiday.”
Who have you written off? In whom do you no longer even look for the light of God? Which enemy have you so thoroughly demonized that you can not see anything virtuous in them?

The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition. The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity. Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.
The opinions expressed at the Café are those of individual contributors, and, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official statements of a parish, diocese or other organization. The art and articles that appear here remain the property of their creators.
