Sister Mary Clarence
I was going to call this Mary Clarence Ministries. You know, that 90’s smash hit “Sister Act” where Whoopi Goldberg has no religious history and ends up sparking change in a very stiff church. Inspiring new life from the inside to attract the revival of participation from the outside.
I realized that I was not like sister Mary Clarence. Well, I am like her in the unconventional ways to approach the church structure but I didn’t have the same outcome. I didn’t have the happy ending and the nice clean tie off at the end. I live in real life, of course, and not a movie.
I am not as apologetic as I should be. In real life I am a pest. A pest with the best intentions. Someone who wants to push the boundaries of the church and make them put their money where their mouth is. Not everyone appreciates that. People struggle with change. Luckily the Bible hasn’t changed. Our approach to it, however, is and should be ever changing.
I’m still walking on the long and winding road of my spirituality. But the scenery on the way has been incredible.
I intend to use this space to openly explore my walk with God and share my experiences.
