Read this!

Well, I'm back in Saskatoon and most of the time I am glad to be here. It is challenging at times to be back in school and away from parish ministry but I am enjoying the classes I'm taking and the learning I'm doing.
I only have one last semester here and then I'm in the real world in whatever form that may take. As I prepare to finish my seminary journey I have been reflecting on the whole experience from first thinking and praying about it, seeking out wise people in my life and confiding in them my call and then making the decision through to my two years at VST, year in Saskatoon, internship year in Pass Lake and now back here.
One of the first comments I heard when I was first discerning this call was that I was going to become a "feminist back bencher pastor" and I'm still not sure what exactly this particular person meant about this but I have realised that I have become feminist in a way.
I read a lot of blogs on a regular basis and tonight I read this one and it really resonated with me. It describes why I too won't turn down my "crazy feminism".
