Our mother church is not open to women to serve as deacons. Those who serve are part of the problem not of the solution. I disagree with deacon Kandra.

I relate particularly to what Deacon Kandra described as his "long and winding trek through the desert." I had that moment in my life too, but I never described it in such compassionate terms.
