The only one

A few weeks ago I was invited to breakfast with a few other pastors from my community. It was an ecumenical group, although no one said the word ecumenical. I was invited by one of the parents at my congregation's pre-school, a Catholic who loves our school and thinks it is awesome. He has been the instigator of a community "Faith Fest" for the last few years. There is music and other Texas-style entertainment. Our school has been responsible for "children's activities." All of the proceeds of the "Faith Fest" go to support local ministries and charities.

All of the pastors invited are involved in some way or another in upcoming Faith Fest. There were two from Baptist churches, two from nondenominational churches, and the priest from the large local Catholic parish. And me.

Did I mention as well that I was the only woman in the group?
