Lament, hope and witness: Supporters of women deacons gather to pray

Excerpt:

It was “like he had failed us,” [Alyssa Pedicino] said during a reflection at a June 3 online prayer service of “lament, hope and witness for inclusive Holy Orders,” hosted by FutureChurch and the Women’s Ordination Conference.

Yet Pedicino remains hopeful, inspired by communities of Catholics working for change and supporting one another, such as the more than 200 people gathered for the online service, “Diakonia and Determination.”
