Tee Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Just here to say 'hello' to everyone. I am a continuing student of religions, theologies, Jesus the Christ and GOD the Creator or 'Aio' in my native language which is inclusive of the female [A] & male essence. I hope to learn much from participants in terms of 'food for thought'. Thank u for the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephM Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Welcome Tee, Glad to have you here. I split off your post from the other thread so you could have your own introduction thread. Where are you located if you wouldn't mind sharing and what is your native language? Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hello there and thank you for the welcome, I am from Aotearoa New Zealand. I am of Norwegian, Jewish, English, Cornish and Maori ancestry. My Maori Iwi/Tribe is named Ngati Kahungunu. So the native language I refer to is Maori. I cannot speak Norwegian but will attempt to learn. I am of Anglican [Episcopalian] family. I attended Catholic Middle and High School. I was in training to be an Anglican Minister in 2003 but stopped that in 2005 because of some issues with Anglicans around me of the fundamentalist kind. I am currently exploring religion, all religions. I am female and gay and live alone with my cat and dog. My mom and elder brother who live nearby are hugely anti-gay. She is Anglican, he is New Life [fundamentalist], the rest of my family=2 sisters and 5 brothers [all half to my dad's second wife] and my dad and his wife love me. I tune into Middle Collegiate Church [NY] and am a big fan, huge, of Jacqui Lewis. Have just started exploring Bishop John Shelby Spong's messages. Shalom, Tee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Kia ora [greetings to the Creator in you], I forgot to say, I am currently reading: Candace Chellew-Hodge, 'Bulletproof Faith'. Stephanie Y. Mitchum, 'Womanist Theology'. and Delores S. Williams, 'Sisters in the Wilderness' whilst referencing several versions of the Bible.

I look forward to your contributions here. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Nevermet Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Tee, Welcome! I hope you will take the time to write book reviews when you're done with those books. They sound like something I would be interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
