I feel compelled to discuss here this Quebec "values" charter that may seek to ban public servants from wearing "religious symbols" such as hijab, kippah, or crosses while working.
Personally, I feel very sad and confused about this direction, if it truly reflects a common view in Quebec or the rest of Canada. Does it reflect our limits on truly embracing diversity?
I've always assumed that the United Church was basically a feminist. Do you agree?
Prompted by a comment in another thread, and with Crazyheart's Women in the Bible Study fresh in my mind, I stumbled across this link -
A Call to Care: The Women Who Built Catholic Healthcare In America
It briefly describes the lives of 7 women, I doubt any of us have ever heard of but their selfless acts of compassion should be a reminder to us all.
I'm not sure which is my favourite hero (or for the traditionalists, heroine)
