Sister Joan Chittister famously said, "We are each called to go through life reclaiming the planet an inch at a time until the Garden of Eden grows green again." Reflecting on that journey -- a blog at a time -- is the focus of this site.

Chess, anyone?
More and more it seems to me that we are engaged in a global game of chess in which the gay and lesbian baptized have been cast in the role of pawns.
It is not a role that suits -- either the gay and lesbian baptized or the Gospel.
Our Katherine is a reputed Chess wiz and it shows. She most certainly knows her way aroung Kings, Queens, Bishops and pawns, and how to use them strategically to her advantage.
Which, I hasten to add, is not necessarily a bad thing.
It takes nerves of steel, a spirit of adventure, and a keen intellect to win at chess.
Our Katherine scores high marks in all three areas.
