This bumper sticker has a whole chapter of its own in my forthcoming book, “Grace Sticks: The Bumper Sticker Gospel for Restless Souls.”
It wasn’t supposed to be this way…but then again, nothing worth doing usually ever is. Today longtime Catholic nun Diane Dougherty is being ordained just miles from my home in Atlanta’s First Metropolitan Community Church. Doughterty’s ordination will not be recognized by the male authorities of the Roman Catholic Church, but for Doughterty, today’s commissioning for ministry is both a challenge to the existing hierarchy and a validation of her call to ministry as a shepherd of God’s people.
Catholic priest-to-be Diane Doughterty has this Georgia resident’s great admiration.
Once ordained, Dougherty will continue her service to First Metropolitan Community Church, as well as developing ecumenical “Intentional Faith Communities” (for both Catholics and non-Catholics) in Newnan and throughout the Atlanta area, empowering women to lead within the church and advocating for women’s ordination.
It’s about time.
All I can say, with great aplomb and admiration, is “You go, girl!,” and, “God speed.”
