I'll join the intros! My name is Laura Mitchell. I'm a Labor and Delivery nurse in Oceanside, California and an Anglican Catholic (i.e. Episcopalian). I'm currently going through a Catechumenate course (what my non-churched husband calls a refresher course.)and exploring my vocation. I am considering returning to school for a M.Div. I've sort of gone full circle, having been an adult convert, then exploring the goddess/wiccan/gaia beliefs, then returning to my Anglicanism. I tend to be moderate leaning towards liberal and I want to explore how one can be a feminist, yet derive great spiritual comfort from a traditionalist (yes, patriarchal) belief system. The appeal of Anglicanism for me is its "historicity"--that link back to the beginning.
