It's definitely time we clergy take a stand.
It has come to my attention that more and more people are recognizing a Calling to the Sacred in their lives, but who also believe that spirituality reaches far beyond denominations, traditional paths, and religions. The Great Source has been the recipient of many simple and spiritually elegant names such as God, Goddess, Spirit, Great Spirit, Brahma, Allah, Buddha, Jehova, Father, Kether, and has placed within human nature the longing for reconnection with their Source.
We all experience a spiritual Calling on some level, and we may find that connection through prayer, contemplation, meditation, yoga, service to others, or maybe musical or other artistic form of expression. But a Priest will feel it on all levels. A Priest experiences the Calling as one of the main drives of life, no less than the drives for food or air. Priesthood is not something that one becomes, but rather something that one is, was, and forever will be. There is no question, once the Priest's Calling has been heard, about what that person has been been put on this Earth to do: to gather, to heal, to help, to teach, and to love.
