i decided to check out some episcopalian blogs to see if any nuns were blogging. so far, no nuns. now, i'm new to the world of blog, so i may have just not found them yet (i hope). i also noticed that most of the episcopal blogs were by men who are seminarians and priests. hmmmmm.....
i have a religious calling and am just starting the journey to finding a religious order; seeing if this is indeed god's will, listening, not always liking what i hear, and kvetching to god about it.
my nickname for myself is sr. mary alternative because my theology is so very left of center. i consider myself a spongian episcopalian. on the belief-o-matic quiz on www.beliefnet.com i scored as a pagan, then a hindu, then all sorts of things but, actually, episcopalian never even showed up on my list.
funnily enough, i love the episcopal church, believe in the trinity, surrender myself to god's will through jesus. in short, i'm a total episcopalian. i love that there is room for someone like me in the church and i gladly share it with people on the total opposite end of the spectrum and everyone in between!
i am looking forward to comments and please do tell me if there are episcopal/anglican nuns (sisters) with blogs.
with love in christ,
jen the hen

COOL! I'm a Lay Associate of CHS--have been since 1983. I wish you (and pray you) well on your spiritual journey. The CHS sisters I've had the honor of meeting are tremendous, spiritual, vulnerable, funny women.
You'll find my blog at http://poocherelli.blogspot.com.
No nuns I know of...I'm in process of becoming a Benedictine oblate.
Hi Jen,
This is Michele... what a wonderful photo of you. It is precious and so are you!!!
Most of the women religious I know would trip over that "silence" thing if they blogged, I guess.
You might try Monastic-L "an unmoderated discussion list focusing on professed religious life in the Anglican communion." Link from

Good luck!
Hello from a lay person in the Episcopal Church who blogs - am member of the DOK (Daughters of the King) - is that close enough - it's a religious order :), though not monastic.
