Seeing as it's #Festivus and the #AiringOfGrievances is upon us, I spent most of the day writing a breakup letter to the #Episcopal ordination discernment process.

I'm deeply heartbroken, since I still very much believe I am called to the priesthood. But my soul is so weary, and I just don't see a viable path forward. It's time for me to say my piece and move on. I want to heal and not keep reliving the same events, wondering what I could have said or done differently. I need to be free.

@midwestmulcahy I'm so sorry for you and for the church. We have so long needed to grow our vision for vocation. I'm praying for your healing and renewed sense of ministry (in spite of the narrowness of the church).
