| Introduction | "This is the life of the priest: to dwell completely in the explicit nearness of God" (Karl Rahner). My interest is the life of the priest, which is first and properly the life of all the baptized. I am an Episcopal priest who lives, moves, and has her being among the dear people of the Texas Gulf Coast. I am an associate pastor, the invited guest and awestruck co-host of a congregation of servant-hearted Christians who do the imperfect work of the perfecting reign of God. Despite the title, this is not a blog about sailing. It is about the journey of ministry at the front of the ship of the Church, about the times under full sail, and the waiting times as the wind shifts and the jib is reinvigorated towards a new destination-- or the same one, under new power. In addition to being an ordained woman, I am also a mother, daughter, sister, accomplished friend, semi-accomplished artist, and a wanderer of lands and waters. My introversion is most apparent to other contemplatives and quiet pilgrims. In any case, the volume of my voice is always less than the volume of reflections that has produced it. And, that is the determinate. |
