“Or, as a dear pal of the RevGals once advised, whoever you are and wherever God sends you, “Be fierce and fabulous for Jesus.”
Rev. Martha Spong, There’s a Woman in the Pulpit: Christian Clergywomen Share Their Hard Days, Holy Moments and the Healing Power of Humor

“In many ways, being a pastor is simply being a person. A person who shows up, a person who prays, a person who worships, a person who sits at the table during really long council meetings.”
Martha Spong, There's a Woman in the Pulpit: Christian Clergywomen Share Their Hard Days, Holy Moments and the Healing Power of Humor

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
