Yes, I echo Bill's words.</div>

Ron, I applaud you for all of the work you did in highlighting important points in the document. Wish I had had more times to read and reflect on both he document and your highlighted points.</div>

It was good to hear others reflections. Important that so many mentioned the lack of real movement on women's ordination, especially to the diaconate. I really appreciated Ron's reaction to the patronizing attitude of the document towards women.</div>

I have to confess that after that hour I was more disturbed than I had been, probably from hearing the frustrations of others and vocalizing my own frustrations.</div>

I have to believe in the slow movement of the Spirit but my experience of the Spirit's movement have not always been slow, in fact they have been movements towards being courageous and prophetic, creating something new.</div>
