[Magdalen] She's leaving church

[Judy Fleener]

The church is broken, full of broken people.Our last priest and this one
have serious flaws, but I continue to experience God and mystery in the
Eucharist.  And besides, I am a Cub fan, you don't have to be very good for
me too love you.  My love affair with the Episcopal Church continues.
