I grew up Irish Catholic but I have been agnostic (and sometimes atheist), for most of my life. Nevertheless, my children have recognized a sense of spirituality. We teach our kids the values of all religions and cultures, and in an effort to enhance their spiritual awareness, and communal responsibility, we found an inclusive church to take them to. This church has a brilliant female pastor, who refers to God as She as often as He and has played a proud role in the fight for marriage equality.  Recently, members of the congregation were asked to read a poem each week during the Sunday service. I was asked to read one, and so I wrote this piece for the occasion.
