But tomorrow those hurt priests and their congregations will be back doing what they do best, trying to serve God in the communities in which they're set. It is all those faithful brothers and sisters that we're in Covenant with. And those brothers and sisters we sit with tonight as they come to terms with a vote that brings a long process to an end, at least for now. Maybe the subject can be raised again in a few years, but tonight we, your Covenant partners will sit down beside you, hold your hands, share your pain and wait. And we will pray with you and for you. </div> <div class="tags"> </div> </div> <div class="planet-entry hentry counter_5 "> <img class="picture" src="http://static.maemo.org:81/static/d/d6542544fe0a11deb3558bda3a03bb84bb84_avatar_thumbnail" alt="Kathy Smith" /> <div class="author-vcard"> <h1><a href="https://revdkathy.livejournal.com/64553.html" rel="bookmark">A very quiet 'Yay!'</a></h1> <div class="publish-info"><abbr class="published" title="2012-06-15T08:06:50+0000">2012-06-15 08:06 UTC</abbr> <span style="float: left"> by </span> <a href="http://maemo.org/profile/view/revdkathy" class="url fn" style="clear:none;">Kathy Smith</a> <div class="fav"> <div id="net_nemein_favourites_for_1e78d6741c10cea8d6711e7afd0f9362bbb92269226" class='net_nemein_favourites {"favs":0,"buries":0,"has_faved":false,"can_fav":true,"has_buried":false,"can_bury":true,"fav_url":"\/news\/favorites\/json\/fav\/midgard_article\/1e78d6741c10cea8d6711e7afd0f9362bbb92269226\/","bury_url":"\/news\/favorites\/json\/bury\/midgard_article\/1e78d6741c10cea8d6711e7afd0f9362bbb92269226\/"}'> <div class="fav_btn"><span class="favs_count">0</span></div> <div class="bury_btn"><span class="bury_count">0</span></div> <div class="net_nemein_favourites_clearfix"></div> </div> <noscript> <span class="net_nemein_favourites">0 <a href="https://maemo.org/news/favorites/create/midgard_article/1e78d6741c10cea8d6711e7afd0f9362bbb92269226/?return=%2Fnews%2F%2Fplanet-maemo%2Fcategory%2Ffeed%3Ab31073d48a28625c25e0704e6226c79a%2F" class="net_nemein_favourites_create"><img src="http://static.maemo.org:81/net.nemein.favourites/not-favorite.png" style="border: none;" alt="Add to favourites" title="Add to favourites" /></a>0 <a href="https://maemo.org/news/favorites/bury/midgard_article/1e78d6741c10cea8d6711e7afd0f9362bbb92269226/?return=%2Fnews%2F%2Fplanet-maemo%2Fcategory%2Ffeed%3Ab31073d48a28625c25e0704e6226c79a%2F" class="net_nemein_favourites_create"><img src="http://static.maemo.org:81/net.nemein.favourites/not-buried.png" style="border: none;" alt="Bury" title="Bury" /></a></span> </noscript> </div> </div> </div> <div class="post-content"> Not often I actually write a blog post about me, but I suppose this is the place it happens when it happens.
