In a few minutes I’ll be on a conference call with 5 other LGBT deputies and a consultant to discuss our July 8 meeting with Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. We’ve been granted an audience with the Abp. during GC09. I don’t know yet what we’re going to talk about, hence the conference call. I’m mostly worried that my cell phone is not up to the task, but it’s all I have.
And I’m sort of intimidated by this call. Included in this group are some giants in the world of Episcopal advocacy for LGBT rights and inclusion, such as Dr. Louie Crew and The Rev. Tobias Haller, BSG. I’m just a deputy from a small, not very well-off diocese. I have no record of advocacy or work on these issues. I’m not a theologian or a member of the clergy. What I bring to the table I’ve yet to discover.

Now see… I think one of the strengths you bring to the table is that you’ve not been at the forefront of the discussions. You are young and relatively new to this level of leadership. Those factors, to me, seem pretty crucial.
