The church inside the Catholic Church
October o1, 2014
By Tim Louis Macaluso
Jamie Manson's efforts to bring about a more inclusive Catholic Church, one that includes women priests and same-sex marriage, have not endeared her to the church's hierarchy.
But she said that she remains committed to Catholicism and of what she called Catholics' "sacramental" view of the world.
"In the Catholic imagination, every experience we have, every person we encounter is capable of revealing God to us," she said. "One of my messages is to take a look at where we find sacramental realities in our day to day lives."
Manson received her master's degree from Yale Divinity School and writes a weekly column, "Grace on the Margins," for the National Catholic Reporter newspaper and website. She will give a lecture, "Envisioning an Inclusive Church," at Nazareth College at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 16, as part of the William H. Shannon Lecture Series.
