| I took the following excerpt from
the Woman's Secretariat website. I've not owned a copy of
this book in years, but back in 1997 it gave me a great start on the road to
my own recovery. It is no longer in print, but can be found at used
book stores and on ebay on occasion. The
following quotes are reprinted from the book AMAZON SPIRIT -Daily
Meditations For Lesbians in Recovery by Eleanor Nealy © 1995
"I am a new creation; action, vision, insight, and
voice are mine. Creativity springs forth from my center, my energies give
birth, my ideas bear fruit."
-The Rev. Nancy L. Radclyffe,
(ret) Toronto,ON,Canada
"For in our human, sexual, sensual selves, lives
the breath of a spirit which connects and leads us to love, to our divine
selves. My life had been an endless contradiction of faith until I affirmed
the rightness of myself as a lesbian."
-The Rev. Judy Dahl,
Global Outreach Administrator
"We do all sorts of things for the outside of our
bodies, and I'm not gonna say that any of that is wrong. But I want to say
one thing: we must be concerned about what is on the inside because no
matter how well we dress up the outside, it is the inside that needs
healing."
-The Rev. Delores Berry,
Mid-Atlantic District,USA
"The surprise and delight of making love to her
that night still fills me. What was supposed to be queer, perverted and
debased was, I found, lovely, sacred and healing."
-The Rev. Elder Nancy Wilson,
MCC LA, CA,USA
"Even in knowing a truth communicated to us by
others, we must rediscover it within the context of our own experience in
order for it to apply to our own survival."
-The Rev. Sandra L. Robinson,
Samaritan Institute
