Abstract
I sort of feel I’m still in there – as tentatively as I am – because I believe in the ability of the Church to change. I believe it can change. And I believe that it will change. And I want to be part of that. I feel, well, if I want something to change, I have to be invested in it. If I opt out, I’m leaving it to everybody else. Y’know? And I think that’s why a lot of women have hung in because they ... see the value of staying somehow in there with the hope that it’s going to change. ... It’s not just that they’re saying ‘ah well, sure that’s the way it is’. I don’t think so. I think if you scrape the surface, most women are pretty pissed off.
