A reader who follows Bilgrimage regularly has objected to the wording of a posting I made several days ago (here). Please note the following paragraph in that posting, which I have now altered in an attempt to deal with the concern of the faithful reader who appears to be following this blog carefully:A reader of Bilgrimage left an astute observation about my posting yesterday (here) describing how a former employer finds it useful to continue attacking me (and my partner Steve) down the road from when we left her employment--because we are gay. And because she can get away with doing so. In a church-owned school that has no stated policies forbidding discrimination against people on grounds of sexual orientation. And in a cultural climate in which it is very easy to smear gay folks with all kinds of dirt, in order to deflect attention from one's own shortcomings and shore up one's faltering power.
I always appreciate feedback from good readers, and hope to continue providing honest, insightful, ethically-grounded reflections on matters like spirituality, justice, the churches, and higher education and its leaders.
