Wheeew! This sure is an interesting topic for a *music* bulletin board! :) I am reading the posts from Jon, kat, Joe, etc. w/ bated breath. I'm glad that we are thinking people w/ strong feelings & beliefs. I hope we can keep our sense of harmony & balance, too. I come from the traditional Christian side, as Joe does, but find only minimal dissonance in being a woman in that setting. I'm sure that men, as well as women, find some points of disagreement in any organizations in which we are members. I am really enjoying this exchange of thoughts, but here's poor longhair--new to the group--wondering what in the world he's landed in!!! :)
