mary magdalene and community

Last Friday a few of us celebrative types gathered at the Brendan Center to celebrate the feast of the Apostle to the Apostles and inventer of the Easter egg, and to discuss the proper role of women in the contemporary Church.

Mostly we had a good time, ate a few madeleines and some cheese, and enjoyed wonderful music provided by Carol Reed-Jones and the Hildegard singers.

But we also decided that what women have provided and continued to provide, far better than all the old men in strange suits, is a much clearer vision and much more determined formation of community.

Thanks to everyone who came and shared.
