Message-ID: Date: 23 May 91 00:44:25 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Organization: SUNY Buffalo Lines: 21 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu It seems that my subject-line proved a source of some confusion. I did not intend to suggest that women want to serve as priests out of mere ambition, or that women having such a calling are therefore ambitious. It is my feeling that, if ministry is what a woman feels she ought to do, let her do it. I meant the subject-line wrily, as women in the past didn't get much of anywhere unless they were attached to the right men. No permanent harm done, I trust. kph -- "The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself.
