    I’m a priest, not a priestess.... “Priestess” implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world—it’s better than being invisible.
    —Carter Heyward (b. 1946)

    A theology whose god is a metaphor is wasting its time.
